In a time where money is tight, any means a business can find to advertise for free is priceless. As a virtual assistant for Best Agent Business, I know first hand, how valuable these resources have become. I am the Team Leader for the Craigslist team, and I'm here to tell you about what we can do to help promote your listings.
Best Agent Business has a Listings Team. A few of the things this team organizes and manages are posting listings to various marketing sites, and staying in constant contact with our clients to make sure their needs are being met and often times, exceeded. Recently, the listings team has branched into a team specifically designed in posting Real Estate Listings to Craigslist.
Our team is in direct contact with each client's Key Assistant or Team Leader and manages the postings each week. How this works is each client chooses a day or days he/she wishes to have their listings go live on Craigslist. Using the systems we've carefully established, we proof read and post these to the clients region weekly or bi-weekly however the client wishes them to be done. This is a very valuable resource to have. It is free and can generate lots of leads for the agent's listings.
There are several different systems we can use to post to Craigslist. The first is the good ol' fashioned way of manual posting. By this we mean, no glitz and glitter, just straight forward text and attaching up to 4 pictures. Another method, one of our most popular is by using Postlets. It is a free site in which we input the listings information, and it generates a HTML code which we then use in the Craigslist ad. It creates a very nice flyer looking ad, and contains all the pertinent information, including the agent's name, a picture of that agent if he/she chooses to use one and the office address and phone numbers, and can also hold up to 6 pictures of the property. By the way, the Postlets can also be out on Active Rain for a quick, attractive post..
A few other sites we use to generate an HTML code to use for posting to Craigslist, is VFlyer, Number1 Expert, and E-Listings. These are also wonderful tools. The downside to VFlyer is you can only have 5 listings at one time for the free site, or you can pay and have as many as you would like. Number1Expert is similar to Postlets, but not as user friendly. E-Listings is a tool for our Exit agents, and it is wonderful. It generates a very nice flyer that we post to Craigslist for them.
As a Virtual Assistant, I am learning a lot about real estate. But as a Marketing Major, I can tell you, free is wonderful, especially when you can reach a market that might otherwise be left untapped. Do your research, and utilize the services that are out there. You just don't know what you might be missing.
