Well I've been doing more posting on CL.  And I've been getting some good hits and a few crazy people also.  I guess you have to take the good with the bad.  The good thing is that I'm getting people that want to take advantage of the current foreclosures out on the market.  The bad thing is that the banks that hold the properties take forever to respond to an offer.

Banks take forever.....thats what I've been told. I gone to several foreclosure seminars and the general consensus is that it can take up to 6 months to close a property. Yikes. Ugh. If you have someone in your office that specializes in foreclosures, then you might consider referring it.  25% guy and only a little work. If an agent specializes in it, then they build those relationships and network with the banks. I think thats good. I know I'll just referr it to a lady in my office that has a bunch of foreclosure listings.

Greg,

Craig's list is great but you need to take a look at Postlets.com, they offer not only posting to Craigslist but also to several other sites, and they give you the opportunity to build great ads, in color frames and backgrounds that look much better than just a regular CL post. Check it out, you will love it! Even if you do not know HTML you can create really great looking ads.

good luck

I don't want to deal with shorts.  The REO I've dealt with have moved pretty quickly... the entities want them off the books... if you are working their kind of offer.

Hi Greg - what language do you find works the best on Craigslist?  What part of CL do you use?  I am currently waiting on three banks to answer on offers I have in so I know what you mean!
