(this way you arent paying money for leads that dont materialize)Some ask me if they can advertise my listings, in the hopes of getting buyers. 

Otherwise, you may panic after closing and just go with the one that has the flashiest web site or the lowest (advertised) fees.That said, it is common for a manager to charge up to one month's rent to place the tenant and then a percentage of the rent collected after that.

If you look at patterns, you see the same posters with the same cut and paste response over and over.The constant advertising to "let me help you" can be annoying and may - I stress MAY -  work in some cases, but I will also say that as BP has progressed, those types of ads and cut and paste responses only hurt those posters.
