I have applied for properties to rent and was wondering how long it usually takes real estate agents to get back to you to give you the outcome. Do they tell you if they have rejected you?

Unfortunately everything depends on the agent. Some are good and communicate well others – the vast majority, only communicate if it will make them money. Rentals are quick money – albeit small money for the agent, so if you don’t hear it is usually not good news.

The agent should immediately be able to give you an estimate of how long this process usually takes. Then they should be able to give you updated time estimates if it takes longer. In our area it often takes three or four days but it all depends on how quickly references and such answer our calls.

Agents focus where the money is, and that is selling a house.
You are small potatoes to them and you are last on their list. Unless they are a good agent, you will be waiting and getting frustrated.
Maybe try going to an agent that focuses on rentals only, GL

Call them and ask or you may never hear back

How long has it been? Call him/her within 24 hours if you don’t hear from them.

You have to remember that agents are running their own businesses and if one doesn’t respond, it should be a clear indication of their lack of customer service and poor business practices. I would move on to another company.

Real Estate Agents are supposed to be professional. Most agents I deal with are in fact very professional and hard working. If you have to ask the question that you just did please learn the best four letter word I can offer you,and the word is NEXT. Move on and find someone who is willing to keep the lines of communication open and keep you informed.

Most agents will answer very quickly, unless they are waiting for a response from someone else, for example the owner of the property. If you think that your agent is not responding to you as quick as you like, you can give him a call, send him a text message or just send him an e-mail.
I hope that helped.
