What are your thoughts on apartment locators?

If you've had a good experience with a locator: What made the experience good?

If your experience was bad: What made the experience bad? What could the locator have done better?

My experience with a locator was so exceptional that she asked me NOT to tell her employer everything she was doing for me! She not only picked me up from work and found an apartment on a bus route in my price range, but also drove me to Greyhound so that we could retrieve luggage I had left there for three days. (I moved here from another city.) She then offered to stop at a nearby KMart so that I could buy toilet paper or a shower curtain. Do not expect all this from your locator. :D

I don't know. I asked your mom to help me find one

I think they are just advertisements for the places that paid to get listed. I don't normally use them because they don't list enough places, only the ones that paid to be listed. It's biased information.
