Reply to comment by gmoor90 in TN teacher NJ apartment hunting by gmoor90

I started with Zillow and a listing there caused me to reach out to a realtor. The place on Zillow went off the market fast, but I stayed in touch with that realtor and she recommended me for the apartment I got. Surprisingly, I didn’t have to pay her because the landlord paid her fees. Sometimes the renter has to pay the realtor, so don’t stay away from realtors, just be sure to ask the right questions before you get involved with one.

*IF* NJM is cheaper, go for it without question. It's a big IF these days though. I was with NJM for 20years with a clean record, but found that GEICO was 25% cheaper for me for the same coverage. NJM wasn't really interested in keeping me as a customer.

So if you go with them, make sure to check prices with competitors regularly to make sure their underwriting doesn't catch you out.

The one thing I love about GEICO is it’s app. Can pull up insurance cards and any other documents whenever I need them. Easy to track billing too. But my premium has up from $110/m to $133/m this past year and I don’t know why?
