June apartment needed

Does anyone have recommendations for realtors and/or local landlords in the Davis Square or surrounding areas? My roommate and I are a few blocks from Davis now (on the Cambridge side), and would love to stick around. Our landlord is renovating our place to sell as condos, and we're so not down with paying $470K for this place! If you have a place available, we're looking for a 2-bed, 1 parking spot, laundry, storage, and cat friendly. Preferrably $1400 or less. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

My old landlords live in Florida and the Cape, but they both worked with Red Line Real Estate just outside the Square. John Lowenstein was excellent.

On my walk to work (Ball Square to N. Cambridge)
I have noticed 2 "for rent" signs. Both are decent looking houses and in good locations. I can try to get the phone # tomorrow. In my opinion, there is no reason to go through a realtor. Craigslist has worked very well for me.

a lot of local landlords put listings on the Tufts off-campus housing website....we found a great apartment through this list (we're late twenties and not college students)

On the other end, I do NOT recommend Dave Lewis, who owns Maven Realty and thus a number buildings around. I lived in one of his places for a year and a half. While I have to admit they did get things fixed in a timely manner, the guy was an asshole who thought nothing of walking on in with prospects whenever he felt like it during the 3 months before my lease was up.
