You can also go on realtor.com and specify "rent" rather than "sale" - and narrow down by zip code...may individuals, property management companies, and realtors use this site.

I am renting a home presently and the realtor I used posted all of his listings, sales and rentals, on realtor.com.

Ford - remember YOU and your daughter are clients - if you are not getting the service you need/want, move on - there are plenty of realtors out there who would be happy to make a quick commission from a rental. the realtor I used spent 3 hours with me, showed six properties I had selected on line from listings he sent me, I picked one of the six he showed and we were done - he made around $2000. Not bad for a few hours work.

I would use CL myself. Most of the listings in this area are on CL and many of them are second homes for rent by owners from NJ and NY. I looked a while ago actually for a place for myself. Quite a few ads under ""Rentals Wanted"" and its understandable because they are looking for a fair rent price. Most don't earn enough here to pay $2500 per month in rent.

In my opinion soccer Mom realtors who are only doing this in between the demands of their family are useless. When we wanted to sell our house DH & I agreed we wanted someone who was a full time , professional realtor.

My daughter does this regularly every day.

Sounds like you need another realtor.

I don't think I know any realtors who deal with rentals.

After the widely publicized murder last week of a retired couple here in Georgia who were trying to buy a classic car through Craigslist, I wouldn't advertise anything for sale there or meet with anyone to see anything advertised there. They drove to south Georgia supposedly to see a 1966 Mustang which didn't exist. The "seller" lured them there to take their money.......and then the car they drove there was submerged in a lake and their dead bodies left nearby

I'm sure some perfectly OK people advertise through this venue, but so do crooks and scamsters. Wouldn't touch Craigslist with a ten foot pole.

sounds funny, but it is pretty good.

I wouldn't waste time with realtors. Seek out rental management companies.
