I just left my clients who are very happy because their sofa is gone. One piece down and many to go.
Over the past several weeks I have posted a lot of property to Craig's list and to my surprise I have increased (actually tripled my hits). The unusual part is I have not increased the number of call I have received.
I just had my clients finally finish signing a lease for a home that they will occupy soon. It was the most difficult and time consuming endeavor that Ihave ever experienced. I represnted a family of ten who are relocating from Florida, a most difficult situation for not only them, but also for … (4 comments)

Unwanted phone solicitations and email spam are a nuisance. But there's something especially instrusive about it when it's on my cell phone. Lately I've been getting more than usual and tonight was the final straw. I won't bore you with the long story, but the lesson we learned is that supposedly, … (23 comments)
According to a number of Realtor friends, a large chunk of inquiries about their services comes from their Craig's List marketing campaigns. In one case nearly 20% of his leads begin at Craig's List. What is the strategy in utilizing Craig's List?
One of my most successful open houses as far as crowds showing up was when 4 of us in my office put together a special event the day before the Super Bowl. We called it Super Saturday and advertised in Craigs List that everyone who attended would receive tickets for a … (7 comments)
The other day I was searching Craig's list for a slightly used clothes washer, I found an interesting listing that peaked my interest. 
First, I would like to thank the readers of my Reno blog for reminding me for not posting last week, (I was well aware of it). It was routy and reminiscent of 2004, I had 5 offers on Monday and we negotiated them out all week, we went into escrow on … (1 comments)
The last couple of days I have had new clients in town looking for a short term rental so they can take their time shopping for a home.
This is an honest question that I ask of my fellow professionals in this industry. Does Craig's List ever really work? I have worked day in and day out trying to keep my little ad on the first page... and, for the work it entails, I have received a phone call … (16 comments)
HELPFUL Relocation INFORMATION ABOUT Vancouver WA (Washington) and the SURROUNDING Clark County Area
The Internet is a great place to interact and socialize with our fellow human beings. But it is also a great tool for free advertising and getting our messages out to the rest of the world.

Are you stressed?
After taking a few trips to Europe, I started to see the benefits of their style of living. There were no Big Box Stores, only small village markets and farmers markets. The locals visited the market almost daily for their selection of meals. No lugging of lots of grocery bags once … (5 comments)
My Craig's List issues won't seem to die. I awoke this morning to several new comments in my inbox on a subject that seems to have been revived from Part 1 and Part 2 of my venting on flag happy people on Craig's List. 
It's a scene out of a horror film,yet is happened to one unfortunate person on Jacksonville Oregon.Apparently a very evil person placed an ad on Craigslist with the address of this homeowner stating that EVERYTHING was free as the man had to leave the area immediately.Whom ever placed the ad even … (1 comments)
2. Post a listing on Craig's List. 
Who has luck with craigslist for finding renters or buyers? I have been posting rental and sale listings for a year or so. I do tend to delete and repost often to keep my listings higher up on the list, and that is sort of a pain. I am not sure … (15 comments)
I debated between the title I picked and "You've Got To Think Outside Of The Box!" 
A post by one of our IREAA members has certainly caught our attention, it reads:
I have a listing that is not getting as much attention as I think it should. I’m at a bit of a loss as to why there haven’t been more showings. The home is in a desirable location, it’s been staged, there have been two open houses, the price has … (36 comments)
lately open houses have largely been a waste of time and I have had success with silent bid auctions. For $12.00. I received 15 phone calls and 10 people showed up this last rainy, snowy Saturday. The $12.00 was for the Auction sign. I spent no money for advertising. My personal … (0 comments)
I recently posted an add in the LA Craiglist.com jobs section to help find a writer to help with some newsletter work. Within three hours I received over 50 applications and had to pull the add. Oddly enough, it's where we've been getting lots of phone calls for our property listings.
The mirror is the center of one of my favorite movies, "Snow White". When the Queen is mirrored in a way she does not like she becomes filled with rage and jealousy. Which leads me to my point...

Please note that I am not a Craigslist Employee, nor … (39 comments)
I have been getting the phone to ring with Craigs List. If you are looking to increase your business, I think this is a no brainer. It's free as well. I usually get one call a day. 
While reading another post earlier today I was reminded about postlets.com so I decided to take a look.
I am new to Craigs List but have found it to be very usful. I am trying everything to sell my listings. I have been posting my listings on Craig's List and have received a great response . My posts on Craig's List look really bad. Where will I find a … (17 comments)
Since we're all always looking for new ways to bring in business I decided to go back over some emails that I was trading with my sister-in-law (a Realtor in another state). One of the topics that we were discussing was FSBO's and whether or not the market adjustment would bring out … (3 comments)
Tonight, Stephen Colbert interviewed The Craig of Craigslist.org fame.

One of our agents sent me this article early this morning about a incident involving a Craigs List posting.
And here's proof!
I recently discovered Postlets as a tool to enhance the visual appearance of listings on Craig's list and a handful of other web sites. If you haven't used this tool, it is worth a look. It creates a very attractive presentation with additional photos, links to a virtual tour, your web … (9 comments)
I was looking through Craigs List looking to see what was on there and came across a house that sounded amazing like one of my listings. It's headed up by starter/fixer up home and I clicked on it. It gives my clients address and has a place to click through to … (10 comments)
