Why Craigslist is Your Best Friend in Real Estate Leads

Craigslist’s size, volume and community interaction is a gold mine for all real estate agents that are trying to generate leads online. The best part of all, in most cities, craigslist is absolutely free making it a invaluable resource in your lead-generating tools. You can create an ad for each individual property, or a general ad that displays all of your properties at once. The best part of all, is you need little if any knowledge of html code. Simple online html code editors will more than suffice for your ad listing.

Keep in mind, most people on craigslist are looking for a deal. Most craigslist viewers are trying to get the most for their money, so you may come across several dead end leads. But in this case, is a few bad leads worth it if you come across one good lead? We think so…
