All newbies, alert! If you're just starting out and you are volunteering to do open house for other agents, get their permission for you to post your open house on craigslist. That's how I started 5 years ago. And for every listing I get, I post at least 2-3 times a week.
It also helps to vary the posting so they look different, both in looks/style as well as title. I post by using the following: (1) www.postlets.com and (2) www.vflyer.com --- both of which provides templates for the posting that make them standout. Mostly free design and posting service for the basic packages.
I also post directly from my website which is networked with www.point2agent.com
Craigslist is my best source of leads for both buyers and sellers. Being from the Bay area where craigslist was born, the awareness of this free service is exceptionally high, and this is where a lot of folks go to buy, to hire, to sell, to socialize.
Enjoy!
Any free marketing plateaus are a great deal especially if it gets millions of hits like Craigs does.
I haven't used craigslist as of yet,. The consensus from several posts is it's a good place to advertise and the price is right.I will definitely check it out. Thanks for the reminder.
Good Post!
love Craigslist. Especially for unique properties. I no longer use the postlets, however, because I prefer visitors to go directly to my website. I've gotten many hits that way... and new leads.
Wow -- I hadn't thought of using Craigslist for advertising! I am going to get something set up today. Thanks for sharing.
i have used craigs list a lot lately. the downside is not knowing who you are dealing with. Lots of crazy people out there...
I can't say I've had a sale off Craigslist but I do like the traffic it brings to me website
