While I was a bit nervous until they signed the lease and paid the rest, it worked out well.Wanted to add that you need to check your landlord/tenant laws as I was so nervous because in MD, if you sign a lease but don't come through, the landlord can be held liable for paying for temporary lodging for the new tenant if his unit is not ready for any reason, but I was very certain of the dates and condition of the unit or I wouldn't have done it.  

I'm nervous to reach out to local real estate professionals because I'm not even sure what questions to be asking.

Thanks for any help to this nervous newbie. 

I have the place advertised for June 1 but am nervous about getting my current tenant out and the place cleaned before the new tenant moves in.
