Agent said "I will not advertise your rental on MLS"

Hello there, BP famil. I recently called an agent that was suggested to me by other landlord. I wanted to interview her to see how good she would be to help me rent out my apartment. When I asked her when can you stop by to take pictures of the place, she said :" Well, I don't usually take pictures." I was like: "How are you going to advertise it then?" On which she answered: " I have my own clientele and don't need to create an MLS listing"

What to think of that???

The typical fee for rentals is one month’s rent. I can’t see why any agent would bother with listing or showing rentals when their side is a half months rent.
