So, we're moving to Salt Lake City! The problem is I am not moving by myself. I currently rent a house with my husband and our three pets (and we do plan on taking all three of our pets). I have browsed KSL.com has classfieds, Craigslist, and the like - but, we are currently living on the East Coast, it's hard to get a sense of a place from pictures alone, and we won't be moving until July-August.
We're really hoping to rent a house or a part of a duplex (no huge complexes), but will only have a couple of days at most to physically go see things in June. (I know it's pretty common practice in our current area for realtors to show rentals and take on prospective tenants, but I can't seem to find much information about that in the SLC area.)
Does anyone have advice on the best way to relocate to SLC/have any experience using a realtor to find a rental property? I've seen some ads from some large property management companies (RPM, I believe), small leasing companies (Trio, Medusa), and a few by owner. Does anyone have any advice on these particular companies or places to avoid?
