A lot of agents won't take rental clients because the commission is small. I will, and not out of charity — half the people I've helped lease have come back to buy. If you rent through me you get the same MLS access, the same showings, and the same person answering your texts.
Rental scams are everywhere on the free listing sites — fake photos, fake addresses, wire the deposit and it's gone. Everything I send you comes off the MLS, where the listing is tied to a real licensed agent and a real property.
2.16 months of supply and landlords getting 97.9% of asking, while the buy side sits at six months. That gap matters: on the rent side you need to move fast and have your documents ready, which is the opposite of the buy side right now.
Photo ID, two most recent pay stubs, proof of income around three times the rent, and rental history. In a market this tight the application that's complete gets approved and the one that's 'coming tomorrow' loses the property.
Pet fees vs. pet deposits, who handles lawn care, HVAC filter clauses, early termination, and whether renters insurance is required. I read it with you before you sign, and in Texas most of these are negotiable more often than people think.
No starting over with a stranger. I'll tell you honestly when renting another year is the right call — and when you're leaving money on the table by not buying.
Tap any of these and your phone opens a message already written. Change it, delete it, send it as is — whatever. I answer texts faster than anything else, usually within a few minutes.

No pressure, no drip campaign, no getting handed off. Tell me what you're trying to do and I'll tell you honestly whether now is the time.
