Where to advertise my rental property?

Hello!

I renovated a 1890's home in Saint Louis, MO and I am having some trouble getting any leads for renters. It is all updated with LED lights, new paint, new insulation, new plumbing, gas stove/ oven, updated cabinets, off street parking, w/d in building, and shared stage space in the basement. It is 1100 sq feet and on the 2nd floor. My realtor suggested I list it at $975, to which I only had 1 response. I dropped the price to $895 and had someone back out on me the day the lease was to be signed. Its been vacant for nearly 1.5 months and the price is $850. I'll get maybe a lead or two a week but rarely schedule a showing. 

The apartment is currently listed on CL, Zillow, and trulia. Are there any other strategies I am missing to get this unit rented?

Thank you!

I listed a home on Postlets and within hours I was getting calls and emails.  I actually increased the rent by 15% based on all of the interest and still had more traffic than I could handle.  I'm not saying that was all due to Postlets, it was a great house to start with, but Postlets will put your listing on about 25 different websites.  You never know where people are looking. 

Do you mind sharing the address of the property so we can see the details?

Good luck.

Sid
