The ones that do are either very expensive or will have 20+ people showing up the next day (sometimes the same day) for a visit. It's crazy and while this article is very neat I'm not sure a bot that scrapes listing in batch is the answer.
A week later she phoned us before she listed a new one, and we went to see it 3 hours later and took it.
It goes to show the human aspect still matters, a lot. That one email thanking her was probably worth way way more than eg hours spent on a bot to automate applications.
Many apartments also don’t even make it to an agent because people have friends they promise it to and refer them to the landlord.
I decided that their parents must have tipped/bribed the original agent to get at that listing (since none of these ever made it to any search site, not that there were many at that time).
