So this is a company that will find you a home to rent... or so they say. What they will do for you is compile listings from sites like Used Victoria, Craigs List, your local newspaper, and Kijiji. So if you don't have time to go through these listing yourself, then I say go for it, pay the 75 dollars, because it will make your search easier I'm sure. But there is no guarantee that after paying the 75 bucks you will actually find a place to live. They claim that some landlords go directly to them, but I am not really sure that actually happens, but they certainly claim it does.
I for one, would not pay someone else to do what I can do myself for free, but hey, to each his own. It's your money.
A friend of mine is looking at an apartment and this is what she had to say about it

(expletive!)
-They do not have houses/suites for rent!!!
-they do not do anything but gather listing for you
-they do not help with the application process
-they do not guarantee that you will get housing
-they do not offer you a refund of the $75 fee, if you do not find a place by the time you need to be out of your old place
Landlords do NOT list their properties on this site
Using them in no way assures that you will find a place, it's actually just a bunch of crap.
