How I Found My Dream Rental Home Without a Broker (and You Can Too) - Monk & Bear Way

I live in a rented house. I have spent a lot of money on brokerage while finding my rental house each time. But last time was different — not only did I find a better house, I didn’t pay a single rupee in brokerage. Do you want to know how?

Why Do We End Up Paying Brokerage for Good Houses?

When you search for a good quality flat, most are already in the hands of brokers. Direct listings from owners are often limited. Many owners rely on brokers - owners staying away from the rental house, owners not able to manage house visits etc.

This Changed Everything

During my last rental home search tour, I accidentally came across another tenant — a fellow “rentee”. He was looking for a good quality flat in my area. I quickly offered him to check my flat as I was going to leave it in a month. He liked my flat.

I also got an opportunity to see his flat and found that it was as per my new requirements. We spoke with the respective house owners and grabbed our next rental houses at a rent lower than it would have been with broker and that too without brokerage.

This sparked a new idea. What if you find such a rentee? Is it possible? Definitely yes. Let me explain how.
