Pimp Your Listing Flyers!

By
Real Estate Agent with Nest Realty

This post is LONG overdue!  classified flyer ads logo

The awesome girls over at Classified Flyer Ads featured me in their April newsletter and I am just now thanking them.  Shame on me!

WHY I LOVE Classified Flyer Ads!!!!!!!

Many of us use some sort of interactive flyer program so we can post interactive flyers of our listings.  After researching the various ones available, I chose to use Classified Flyer Ads.

WHY?

Well, first off, they post to more websites FOR FREE than anyone else.

Thanks for the information and I will check them out.  I have tried another company that promised web site syndication and I never saw my listing where they promised it would be.

I love your VA TECH background.  I need to figure out how to get my Nittany Lions as a background on my blog.  If you ever have clients relocating to Penn State I pay a nice referral fee.  Is that illegal solicitation to Active Rain?  I hope not.

Tina - I need to check them out. I am curious about paying to be on the 1st page of Google though. For what term will you be on the 1st page on - the address? You should be on the 1st page for that without paying for it?

Penny, Kent, Patty - hope you like it!

Aventura - glad you have had the same thoughts as me!

Bill - they give you a list of the terms they guarantee they will get you.  No, it's not the address.  Virginia Beach real estate, Virginia Beach homes for sale, etc.  They also email you once they have verified you are on Page 1 and send you the proof so you can forward to your seller.

Misty - No, thank YOU!

Tim - I think the AD's are trying to get us to play together in a few years.  What a great game that will be!

Tina, If the games happens in Happy Valley you are invited to our Keller Williams tailgate party. I also have a friend that owns a beautiful Inn that I highly recommend. It would be a great Fall Saturday afternoon. Tim

Great post!  We're on a lot of these sites already, but the extra sites and exposure are worth this price!  We're going to give it a run.

This is great.  I just signed up for the free subscription to try it out.  I was using VFlyer which provides a similar service but not as many distribution sites and they also do not have the great extra tools such as local information, census data and calculators.  Thanks so much!

how is this working for you now.  I know technology changes quickly so maybe you found another strategy for pimping your listings?

Scott - I am still a very active user and very pleased with the service.  CFA recently added custom headers and has expanded the number of sites they syndicate too.
