Why Finding the Right Letting Agent is Important For Tenants


Gone are the days when you have to scour the yellow pages for the right letting agent in Chichester. With the advancement of technology, everything is right at your fingertips if you know how to use it. As a good rule of thumb, letting agents who answer within 24 hours of an enquiry is a good sign. A quick response rate says a lot about the likely relationship. Before you dive in and start looking for a letting agent, however, you need to understand the role that they play first. Simply put, a letting agent is a coordinator between the tenant and the landlord.
