I contacted Rapid after looking at their website, and I went to the office already having several places in mind that I wanted to check out. Well, one of those apartments (actually, my favorite) had been rented already, which was disappointing, but Neil showed me places that were even better - and one of them was actually under my budget. I was surprised at how many spaces they had that suited my needs, every experience I've had with brokers in the past have been pretty limited - they'd show me 2 apartments, and I was basically expected to chose the lesser of 2 evils.\r

I liked that Neil didn't mind taking the time to show me a lot of different spaces, even though I ended up taking the first one I saw. I felt like they were interested in helping me find the best place for ME, not just my money.
Pros: tons of apartments, great neighborhood knowlege, great price ranges
Cons: one place I was interested in already rented
