Most of the sites I've been looking at are legitimate real estate brokers. I didn't even keep links to sublet.com, it seemed close to utterly useless, and judging by the small number of apartments on apartments.com, it comes close behind. I'm wary of craigslist, but that's for other reasons. With the way craigslist is set up, it'll be clear pretty quick it's a scam. The problem is how incomplete the listings are - for example, they often don't specify anything in regards to pets, which means I'll end up wasting tons of time as I call people and my first question is "are large dogs allowed?"
I hope to avoid going to an actual agent, but I will if I have to. They do know more people, but I know what I want, and I can cast my net pretty wide - I've found a pile of links to help me out. Still, if it comes to that I'll do it, but I'll cringe to. :)
