A shout out for real estate/rental help!

Hello fellow Biznikers who are in the know about rentals and real estate: I need some help!

My sweetheart is moving back to Seattle from Chicago, and I would love to find him a cozy place. I want to find something independantly (sp?) owned, not a property management situation. In part because he prefers that, also because he has filed a complaint against a former landlord for innapropriate charges. He is a great guy, employed, has money and great references, but it has been dificult for me to help him find a place. Any helpful hints on better places to look then craigslist, etc, or a secret handshake I should learn? Thanks in advance for your help. :) els

Craigslist is the most popular place for rental. We found our first apartment from out of WA via Rent.com.

Good luck!

Craig's List is the best place for the type of property, but you are welcome to use my website to see all rentals in the MLS, by neighborhood. This migth be helpful in seeing what is availbale and what the prices are in the neighborhoods you'd like to rent in. Just click on Property Search and then on the city you want and under property type click on rental. I don't do rentals but if you see something in the MLS you like let me know and I will give you the contact info so you can go directly to the party renting the property.

Have fun...
