I got a job in JC and am moving here. I’m in contact with a realtor who wants me to fill out an application on his site and then I guess he’ll send out my information to landlords on his end. He says it’s state law and the system is secure. Is this process custom?
Second question. On some listings I’ve expressed interest in there are no broker fees. What if I go with an apartment with no broker fee? What does my realtor get in return?
This is my first apartment so this is all new to me, so apologies if I sound like I don’t know what I’m talking about.

The person is BS ing you. The realtor always gets paid either from the renter or from the apartment owner.
