> What does a real estate agent do? They unlock doors. I think it depends on the local market, but this was certainly my feeling when trying to rent a place in London. I visited 15 properties in a couple of days. Most agents just unlocked the door, sometimes seeing the place for the first time, most often clueless about the place. Actually a couple of them weren't even able to open the door and didn't have the right key.
