Do I lease a house through a realtor or the company who is leasing the house?
I am interesting in leasing a home. I accidentally spoke with a realtor (thought she was a secretary) who wants me to send a credit report to her before talking about the house. I talked to the person who’s name is on the sign outside of the house and she wants to show me the house and do a credit and background check. Who should I let handle the leasing arrangement?

You have no obligation with realtor #1 (as long as you didn’t sign anything saying contrary). So go ahead and deal with realtor #2 (the agent who is handling the leasing out of the property). A lot of lease deals are handled in such a way that the leasing agent/agency has their own applications and ways of doing things, so sometimes it’s just easier dealing directly with the leasing agent/agency.

I have to disagree.The owner pays an agent to lease out the place. The agent then splits their commission with an agent who finds a tenant. I rather go through my own agent (the first person who you contacted) so that they can protect my interest and do comps so that I know I am not paying too much in rent. Your agent can also go over your lease to make sure you understand what you’re agreeing too.
