Anything Goes : Looking for a Realtor by Cheri Dodd

Hi! I will be moving to the LA area this Spring. My sister and I fly out Jan 21-27 and I'm looking for a Realtor to line up some apartment viewings and help make suggestions for areas that would meet my needs since I know nothing about the area at all. Any realtor recommendations, or just general suggestions on how/where to secure a rental for my target budget of $1200/Mt (max $1500)?
