in Columbus, GA? My husband is coming back from deployment in a few months and we'll be moving back to Columbus, GA. Can a real estate agent help us find an affordable house to rent? is there a smarter way to find a rental house? Where do we start? Is it too soon to start looking now?

It's never too soon to start looking. Even if it's too soon to enter into a lease, it will get you familiar with the market and what you can expect to pay in rent. Yes, a realtor can help you find an apartment. Depending on the area, it may be more or less popular to list rentals in the MLS but it can happen. Even if the realtor can't get you a home that is listed for rent, they might have connections with investors who own rentals and are looking for tenants. Don't be afraid to ask. It won't cost you anything to use a realtor and they can provide a lot of helpful insight, especially when you are trying to search from out of the area. If you need help finding a realtor, just drop me a line and I can get you connected with one. For more buying and selling FAQs, visit my website at AshleyTheRealtor.webs.com
