Not really. My parents used a broker for their rental. They manage the maintenance and rent collection themselves, but did not have the time or energy to do marketing/showing/vetting of new tenants.
And the broker they used basically does all the listings in the condo complex, so he has a steady flow of interested and vetted renters as well as standard leases that cover the specifics of the condo complex, as well as a relationship with the management office to get the renters approved quickly and get them keys for amenities and such.
In our case we pay the broker, but I can see a lot of value in their services for the landlord.
