The MLS is still the venue of choice for market exposure of residential property for sale or lease in my opinion.

YES, MLS is my preference - they are syndicated to many sites from there and I also add to my own websites, blog, L2L and RealBird.

Ours are listed on our MLS. WE do not (intentionally) put them elsewhere.

If prospective tenants want to look on Craig's List, etc, they're welcome to do so - at their own risk.

I echo Debe Maxwell, CRS comment.  Realbird gets a lot of traction. You may not realize there is a rental category.  As we discussed, I would also put it on the MLS.  I wish you all the best with the rental listing.

MLS, Realbird and Craigslist.  Regardless if you use Craig, you have to monitor his list because scammers will use your ad to try and rip people off.

Most agents here don't do rental leases since property managers are not required to be licensed. Our MLS supports rental listings but it is very uncommon. Most use Craigslist.

Here is the thing with CL. It has a great reach, but SO MANY SCAMMERS. I love using the MLS as it has a great reach and i believe local rentals reach out to local people. There is many local FB sites and the old stand by the local paper whoch posts on their news web sites
