Reliable realtor needed

[Dim Witty]

Looking for a furnished studio or one bedroom apartment in Recoleta/Barrio Norte or San Nicolas. Anyone know a trustworthy relator? Many thanks for any help you may provide.

You can contact 'My Apartment' although their apartments are kind pricey, most listing are 1000 dollar+, they're in business for expats.

If you're interested, I can DM you the agent's contact.

Many thanks, Johngwyn, for your kind offer of help. But with those prices and his expat target audience, I don't think he or she is right for me. Saludos

Trustworthy and realtor do not belong together in the same sentence here in Argentina.

Rental prices seem very expensive ATM . The biggest issue are the expensas now taking up to 35 percent cost of rental .

An owner that I used to rent from has this rental listed on the market currently, owner direct. USD 600 plus expenses.

Here's my two cents:

First, decide if you're in the rent for a year at a time market or want a place to stay in for multiple years. A realtor is probably a necessary evil if you want a multi-year unfurnished lease.

For everything else and particularly for furnished rentals, Airbnb is a better option. There's lots of availability on Airbnb now, the prices are lower than with realtors and it's a much better experience. If you do an Airbnb and want to stay you can do a deal with the owner to lower the price 15% further. Airbnb rentals are also way more motivated to keep you happy due to the reputation system.

Realtors overall are horrible in BA - even worse than elsewhere. In the sub-market that is furnished rentals of less than two years they charge high fees (1-2 months rent commission for each contract), ask for guarantees (more paperwork/cost), are dishonest and will drown you in contracts. Lots of stories around about realtors stealing deposits after exit. For a furnished rental in my experience the cost with a realtor is usually 25% more than Airbnb with way more hassle.

Realtors are shocking in Bs As - trying to palm off sweaty hot duplexes in Recoleta to me for $1500/month because I am a foreigner.
