Property listing for rental

[Balaji Varadharajan]

Hi all,

I am looking at options to list my property for rental. This is my first property. Ofcourse there is an option to use a realtor to list rental, and pay them a month's rent as fee. Is there a different option that is cost effective and still achieve the same result as listing, tenant screening etc., 

A friend has suggested apartments.com. Any thoughts on that or similar websites? 

Thanks in advance for any inputs or suggestions.
