As many other realtors, all my listings are posted on Craigslist weekly. Even though I think Craigslist is an amazing free way of getting more exposure for my listings, I find it time consuming to get a listings up on the website, and without even having a nice design applied to it.
So, after some research, I cam across a great website, www.postlets.com, that helps you create beautiful designs for your listings. Basically, it’s a few steps process where you have to fill in the blanks for your particular listing, and then at the end, you have the option to choose the theme color for your listing.
From start to the end, it took me less than 3 min to get a nice listing up and running on craigslist. The HTML code provided at the end of the tutorial can be used on other websites as well, or even when you send an email.

Beautiful right?

no problem John, I found it very useful, so I thought I would share it. This is great even for sale by owners, since you get good exposure

Cristina, your ahead of game…only 10% of all Realtors post on Craigslist, and it’s in the top 25 most popular sites on the internet. I don’t understand why more don’t do this.
Our CL poster puts lead capture directly into your CL post. Let me know if you need help using it.

Thank you Matt. I think Craigslist is one of the best free advertising options for anybody. The exposure that the website creates for your listings is huge.

Yeah Christina, craigslist is great. Ive been using a craigslist posting tool http://www.craygo.com to post to the craigslist real estate/housing sections. I thought I’d share the tip with you. With the craigslist tool you can easily post to all top cities, or stay within the top listing of one city.

I have been using http://www.flyercafe.com same story, but I liked the designs a bit better, and you can store all of your old listings, so if they renew or are rentals, it is still right there.
