Tristan:

I just recently had a friend use Rent Pros to help find living quarters.

His experiences with them were, in a word, awful.  He had fairly specific
guidelines for what he wanted to live in, and was directed to a number of
places that supposedly fit them.  Unfortunately, all were either exagerated
or just wrong.  Now, neither he nor I can say wether that is the fault of
RP or the owners just giving bad info, but be very careful using them and
expect to have to "push" them a bit to get any real info.

Once, he called them on Monday morning only to find no new listings, and then
found new listings in the Sunday paper he picked up later.  This is probably
a result of RP not being computerized.  He saw them hand searching listings.
