While it’s possible to rent a home without an agent, the experience often proves to be more challenging than many expect. We’ve listed our top 3 reasons below:

• Representation:
  An owner or an on-site condominium building have professional representation on their side. By negotiating directly with an owner’s agent, you’re putting yourself at a severe disadvantage since their agent is legally bound to share everything you tell them to get the best deal for their client.
• Information:
  The only way to determine the correct home or condo rental price, is to compare recently rented prices of similar homes or condos in that same neighborhood or building. While there are numerous resources for finding homes or condos for rent, there aren’t websites that provide rental data in the Treasure Coast area. This is only available to Realtors through their membership with the local Multiple Listing Service. While many consumers look to Zillow for this information, Zillow doesn’t have the actual realistic rented prices in the Treasure Coast area.
• Experience:
  An experienced rental specialist’s primary job is to keep you from making a mistake. Their knowledge is invaluable when it comes to helping you pick the right Stuart house for rent for you and your family. This experience also helps when negotiating on your behalf as they have the pros and cons of similar rented homes. When you’re ready to get professional representation, fill out the form below to be hand matched with the perfect agent, or you can browse our Agent real estate agent directory and choose for yourself.

Once you find and pinpoint your new home or condo to rent, some documents must be submitted to have the owner/landlord agree for you and your family to move-in. Having an experienced professional in your corner will save you time, give you peace of mind and very likely save you a great deal of money.

A. Contract-to-Lease (the offer):
This is a document used to present your offer to the owner/landlord.

B. Lease:
Once the terms of the Contract-to-Lease is accepted by both the owner/landlord and the renter, a formal lease is prepared.

• A deposit is required upon lease execution.
• Typically, an owner asks for a move-in amount of 3-month’s rent. This is considered “the first month’s rent, last month’s rent, and a security deposit”. However, most of the time everything is negotiable.

This is required by all condominiums. It includes a background check that usually takes 5-10 business days. Typically there is a non-refundable application fee of about $100.00.

Unless already furnished, all condominiums require furniture deliveries be scheduled. Depending on the time of the year, elevators may be reserved for days or weeks in advance. You should always account for 5 days.
