Use the "McGarry-Hoopes Group" to Help You Find A Rental Home


You've decided that you're ready to rent a home. Perhaps you've been living in apartments for a long time and ready to move into a bigger space with a yard but aren't quite ready to commit to buying a home. Making a move like this generally suggests that you're looking for a home that you're going to be in for at least a short period of time and so you want to find a home that meets all of your needs. Seek help from the "McGarry-Hoopes Group" to help you through this process. Here's why:

1. IF YOU'RE NEW TO RENTING: If you're moving in to your first rental home and have previously lived in a parents' house or a dorm, you may not know what you need to look for in a rental home. We can help make sure that you get all of your rental needs met and get the best deal for your situation but will also take you through all of the steps in the process so that you'll have that knowledge when renting future homes.

2. YOU ARE MOVING TO A NEW CITY: If you're moving to a location that you aren't familiar with, it's usually a wise idea to get the assistance of a real estate agent for finding your rental home. We will be able to answer questions about the safety of a neighborhood as well as let you know about its proximity to schools, public transportation and area nightlife. These things can take awhile to research on your own so you may save time (and heartache) by letting us help.

3. NEGOTIATING RENTAL TERMS CAN BE COMPLICATED
: Most landlords expect that you will attempt to negotiate certain terms of your rental agreement. You'll try to get a lower rate or at least a lower deposit, you'll want some leniency on the 'no pets' clause or you'll want to clarify points about maintenance of the home. If you aren't good at negotiating these things, you might just accept the rental agreement "as is" which is usually not a good idea. The "McGarry-Hoopes Group" can do these negotiations for you which will get you the best lease without harming your relationship with the new landlord.

4. YOU DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO FIND YOUR RENTAL HOME: Maybe you're a busy professional with too much on your plate and you can't be looking through rental ads all day long. By utilizing the "McGarry-Hoopes Group" we will listen to your needs and find you the right homes to look at. Ultimately, this can save you a significant amount of time and frustration.

Our job is to ask questions and find out what your needs are and then meet those needs while getting you the best possible lease agreement on your new rental home. If you are new to renting (or new to renting in a particular area) or you just don't have the time or ability to find and negotiate on your new home, then the "McGarry-Hoopes Group" is a great resource for you.
