Craigslist Checklist

Craigslist

At Pro Players Realty we think Craigslist is one of many vital tools in developing quality leads for our business. Craigslist is great for both buyers and sellers of Tallahassee Real Estate.

How to get the most out of Craigslist:

  1. Create an account. You can post to Craigslist without an account however, not to all sections. In addition to having full access you can track your listings much easier. Make one.
  2. Decide on a target audience. Who is your buyer? How do you cater to them best? ex. first time buyers, by area, local amenities, schools, etc...
  3. Create an ad campaign. You know your potential customer now personalize the ad toward them. Use a nice picture. Leave multiple forms of contact information. Create two versions of each add because Craigslist can detect duplicates. Short but sweet.
  4. Post your ads. Now it's time to post. Post daily. Every day delete the previous days listing and post the alternate version. Choose the option to hide your email but manually put your email in the ad either through text or a picture (a picture will cut down on spam).
  5. Follow up on leads. People will contact you. Don't leave them hanging. Watch out for spam though.
  6. Tweak and repeat. Your strategy will change over time and your skills in creating good, impacting ads will get better. So tweak your ads.

Good luck realtors.

Yours truly,

Tax Credit Expiration

Government Money

No heart warming stories, insights or tips today. Nope, just a very important reminder that the federal tax credit for first time buyers is expiring in a few months. Whether it will be extended, increased or decreased in value I don’t know. But I do know that if you act before December 1st you’ll receive an $8000 federal tax credit. And people say it’s a bad time to buy…

Mendi, her sisters, and her parents needed a home in Tallahassee. They came to Pro Players Realty. Now they’re closing on one with 4 bedrooms and 5 acres. Mendi was so excited she drew us the picture you see above.

Sometimes being remarkable pays off for more than just yourself.

Be Remembered by Being Remarkable

Remarkable Bracelet

The key to a successful real estate agent, and any business really, is being remarkable. Remarkable is all about exceeding expectations. You do this by endearing yourself to clients, by doing something original.

People talk. Impress them enough and your business will go viral. The best part about viral is that it quickly becomes your best advertiser. If you, your business, or your product generate buzz that buzz will do more for your profit margins than any TV, print or radio advertisement ever could.

Be original. Be remarkable. You’ll be remembered.
