I am renting in a nice place. The person who helped me through the process was very friendly. I think I got a little confused because after I moved in that was that. I really wish professionals would be "professionally friendly" and not over-the-top friendly as that can get confusing. I have read this entire thread and I cannot really determine if your realtor is just being professionally friendly...or more than that. By the way, even though I am in a nice complex my particular apartment is not that desirable. It is dark and faces a building. I was in a very bad place at the time I was looking and this property management person was kind of pushing me and pressuring me - saying the apartment would go in a minute if I didn't take it. I signed. But other apartments here are empty for months and months. I didn't consider that facing an office building would be a deal breaker but it has really depressed me. Everything else is fine. But I have to keep the blinds closed. Never again will I get a place without a view! It was a good deal financially but I have been unhappy. It sounds like you took your time looking. If you heard the sounds of a school...that probably isn't going to go away. I think you will be okay. Don't fret about the realtor. Just be happy in your new home. (Snow/ice also crimping my running. ) Spring is around the corner! Like I said...I just could not get a feel for whether this person was being over-the-top professionally friendly...or something more. But I would hate to see you get hurt as you seem like a nice guy.
