I found an apartment listing that’s having an open house tomorrow. I could, with difficulty, fly to SF to attend. But I’m under no illusion that I will be the one who wins—if it’s even something I want. I’ve used Task Rabbit in NYC to hire people to do things for me, but I don’t know if that’s what San Franciscans do.

I called a few RE agents friends recommended, and they weren’t willing to take on the job—even when I made it clear I’d pay them for their time.

Suggestions? The task involves showing up, likely waiting in line, then doing a FaceTime of the unit while they walk around it.

Sold our house in mid-state New York yesterday and have six weeks to find an apartment in SF. We’ve considered a couple of options, and I wanted feedback on what locals think makes the most sense.

  1. Rent an Air B&B for a month and search once we get to town. 2. Fly to SF next week to pound the pavement until I find an acceptable apartment to rent for our first year as San Franciscans. I’m not under the delusion that an ideal apartment is waiting for me to snap it up, btw. I’d use Craigslist, Zillow, and Apartments.com, as well as walking around looking for signs in windows. 3. Any other suggestions you have to make this relatively painless.

We’ve been planning this move for quite a while, and have spent over 11 months in the city over the past three years. We have our list of preferred neighborhoods. But we’ve never been in the apartment rental game, so any tips are welcome.
