[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. No kids (yet) or pets, so schools/dog parks are not anything we need to consider in a neighborhood. We'd like to stay within the city so we're close to our jobs, nightlife and the like. We'll be renting as we'll be on a temporary 2-year assignment. Hopefully it will be extended and we can stay in the city, but for now it will be financially safer to rent.

I'm a little concerned about the short rental window, if inventory doesn't typically come on the rental market until one or two months in advance. We'd like to locate a rental specialist to help coordinate showings, as we'll be trying to see units in one or two recon trips from the west coast, and likely finalizing things from afar. Welcome any suggestions on that front, as well.

Thank you.[/quote]

And to actually answer your question, I don't think it's common to find a rental specialist to take you around to showings, but maybe some place like John C. Formant could direct you to one on the Hill.  I think most people just scour the craigslist ads and set up their own appointments.  It's a little bit daunting, but it can be done.  You will likely need to be in a position to fill out the application on-site because rentals of rowhomes in good neighborhoods will go very quickly.  If you decide to move into a high-rise (probably harder to find 3-4 beds in this situation) it's possible the building might have several identical units available and maybe you could have some more time to decide in that circumstance.[/quote]
