Totally this. Like OP, I also moved here on a tight timeline and my realtor did virtual tours for me over Zoom. Because realtors work for you, rather than the landlord, they are incentivized not to try to hide the ugly bits. Plus, they’re totally free; they just get a cut of the first month’s rent from the landlord.

OP, if you want a specific recommendation, feel free to DM me and I’ll give you the name of my realtor.
