Fragmented Platforms for Listings. Do you use a single tool?

[Greg P.]

Hey there,

Wanted to get your expertise on posting and finding qualified tenants across the various platforms (Zillow, Apartments.com, Craigslist).  I luckily haven't had to search for a tenant in three years, but need to find one now.  I'm shocked at how fragmented and frustrating the posting process is now.  It seems like Zillow, Apartments.Com, etc. have made it really hard to cross-post and are trying to drive you to use their platform as a single solution.

I used to use Cozy.com and LOVED it.  Unfortunately they closed up shop, and I am now trying to use "Avail", but their posting process is clunky and missing some settings during the listing process. 

Now I am trying to list on Zillow, Apartments.com manually, but they almost all want a monthly fee or want you to sign up for their tenant management platform, which I don't want to do. Plus, Zillow is requiring that I submit documentation on my own property to even start the listing process.  I wasn't anticipating the delay in postings due to having to navigate multiple company structures, which is frustrating.

Have any of you found a better solution?

Thanks for your feedback.
