A lousy one just wants to push you into an apartment ASAP and collect a check. But to win at the apartment search, you have to do more than weed through the scammers to find a legitimate broker; you have to find the right expert for you.<\/p>\n<p>Most brokers will gladly help you with any kind of search, but the truth is they aren\u2019t experts on everything\u2014most have specialties. They might work best in particular neighborhoods, price ranges, or setups. (For example, a broker might do most of his business in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/apartments-for-rent\/new-york-ny\/two-bedroom\">two-bedrooms<\/a> in the $3,000-4,000 range).

This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/blog\/ask-rent-hop-should-i-rip-off-my-broker\/\">negotiable<\/a> fee typically ranges from one month&#8217;s rent to 15% of the yearly rent. Sometimes, agents can help you find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.renthop.com\/apartments-for-rent\/new-york-ny\/no-fee\">no-fee apartments<\/a>, where you do not cover the cost of this fee. When you work with the right expert, this cost is worth finding a worthy apartment that you&#8217;ll live in for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>We can help you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.renthop.com\/search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">find a great expert<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Our next tip: if you&#8217;re going to do it, do it &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.renthop.com\/news\/2013\/11\/tips-to-know-before-meeting-your-broker-in-2014-commit-to-the-process\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">commit to the process of working with your broker<\/a>.\u00a0 Want to play spoiler?
