In the last year or so I have had great success finding clients on-line. Unfortunately I have not been able to get a single one of these clients to close. About a year ago I started heavily marketing on craigslistand in about 3 weeks, I had approximately 35 leads. I ended up working with about 5 of these clients extensively and the problem was always the same thing. They were looking for a deal that was impossible. A deal that did not exist. I showed one guy about 30 properties and every offer he made was always about 20% below the asking price even after my CMAs (Comparative Market Analysis) proved he should offer more. All 5 of the clients were all pre-approved and ready to go but, they all had very unrealistic expectations. Many of you probably think that hese were rebate clients but that is not the case. This was well before sharpbuyers.com. I am honestly skeptical about the quality of clientele from craigslist in the Greater Boston area. Have any of you had similar experiences with craigslist or have you been able to attract quality clients? I am very curious to hear all of your stories.
