I had a feeling his script somehow made him skip the queue.

When I was looking for a new apartment one of my friends told me about his startup that was basically scraping databases of realestate companies and I signed up with them and to my surprise I was alerted for an apartment in the location I wanted and it was up just a few minutes so I was able to contact the agent before they even started their advertisements.

I got the apartment but sadly the startup was bought and shut down operations soon aferwards
