Rental Listing- Advice on Real Estate Agent

[Gabriel Alvarado]

Hi Team,

I have a 3 bed, 2 bath duplexed unit in West Logan Square that I have been trying to lease since late June. Unfortunately, I have not had much success as I have barely gotten 1 application. I have dropped my rental price (from the original rent listing price recommended by my agent), but I still don't see much traction. 

My question is, how do you guys typically evaluate real estate agent performance? I understand that a rental listing will not generate as much as a sale would, but I think a minimal standard should exist (especially since I plan to buy properties in the future). Any thoughts?

Agents are pros at sales. Property managers are pros at renting properties out. Consider a PM.
