Moving to NYC -- Rental Broker Worth it?

Moving to NYC this summer and starting to look at the rental market. Was wondering what you guys thought about using a rental broker instead of doing it all myself on StreetEasy. Found a great broker recommended by a friend who would charge 1 month rent for their fee. Looking at how crazy the rental market is in Manhattan, I'm thinking it could be worth it -- especially for making sure my roommates get their shit together. On the other hand, have no experience here so would appreciate anyone's insight. Thanks in advance.
