im looking to move out of my parents and i want an appartment in Philadelphia. do i need a real estate agent?
i know it’s a big city so that means there are alot of choices and i wanna be able to get the most for my money but i dont know if agents show apartments. i live about 10 minutes from philly but still dont know much about it let alone what kinds of appartments or lofts or whatever there are to pick from. so do real estate agents handle appartment seekers? should i get one? who should i talk to about finding the most for my money?
