Next time you are out searching for an apartment or house with a new real estate broker, take a friend to save some cash. Generally, most real estate brokers make you sign paperwork saying if you decide to buy or rent anything they show you, they are entitled to a commission. Instead of signing the paperwork yourself, have your friend sign it. After looking at the apartment(s) you are not obligated to pay the broker anything -- you are free to try to contact the owner / landlord or even the buildings management company directly (usually listed on a plaque by the entrance). Although most real estate brokers suck, we trust you to take care of the good ones who work hard to find you your perfect home.
