INFORMATION FOR RENTERS

PLAN YOUR MOVE

Most rental vacancies occur during the summer months.  This is the period when military families, and local families usually depart Guam.  This is the prime period for moving, with thousands of properties flooding the market.  It’s still possible to find a home year-round, but summer is the best time.

KNOW THE MARKET

It’s important to know the going rates for the property type you desire.  Any landlord in the MLS will  be advised by their Agent to price their property at market price, and landlords usually want to stick to that price tag.  However, our Blue Pacific agents many times can negotiate them down.  With that being said though, its important for you to adjust your expectations for what is available on the market within your price range.

KNOW YOUR BUDGET

Beyond monthly rent, there are other fees which may come into play:  Common area fees, landscaping fees, pool cleaning, power, water, internet, cable TV, telephone, etc.  Each property has its own fee requirements.  Some landlords (for an extra fee) will cover some utilities for you (however they usually charge more than if you were to obtain it yourself).  A Blue Pacific Agent can work with you to help establish your monthly budget.
