On Rental Brokers Are Useless
There might be one exception here: the vanishing breed of brokers who have exclusive listings. I had a good experience with one of those about 16 months ago. He negotiated his fee down and got me a nice place in the E. Village for below-market rent. He had me look at three good apartments and there wasn't that pressure to sign immediately because he knew exactly what the level of demand was and he didn't abuse that knowledge. Or so it seemed. I'm still in that place. Before that I used one of those big, awful brokers that are attached to 95% of listings and that was ok, but it was near the bottom of the market, a time at which a chimp with a Blackberry could have landed me a place with a free month. The only reason I used the broker on that occasion was to save time, which it did. Anyway, good article.

Don't forget Elmore Leonard. Frederick Exley was in PR, which I guess doesn't count.
