Craigslist Real Estate Lead Generation Reality Check

Ok I am not going to talk about some theory or guesswork just cold hard facts. When you are marketing your Real Estate business on Craigslist you should be focused on 1 thing and 1 thing only, LEAD GENERATION. That’s it.

I don’t give a damn what some GURU said or how his “student” made a ton of money by posting an ad on Craigslist and getting a deal put together within that same week. The fact is even if get a deal put together with a Craigslist lead fast they are far and few in between. And that’s the truth.

Just like an open house or initial showing of a property to a prospect chances of them buying that property are slim. It takes multiple showings, strategic follow ups and killer sales techniques to get the deals done. Having a well oiled lead gen funnel, killer follow up campaign and a golden tongue will give you the results you are seeking. That’s the reality of things.

So many agents want to post 1 ad on Craigslist 1 time, sit by the phone with their fingers crossed and wait for the money to start rolling in without even considering any other factors that are relevant to getting deals done via Craigslist leads or any other leads for that matter. For those of you who this sounds all to familiar too I suggest you WAKE UP and come back to reality.

Having the right road map, using the correct tools, setting up systems and staying focused & consistent is the only sure fire way I know of to get tons of FREE leads that will convert into closed deals from Craigslist.

Its not hard, its not time consuming and its not expensive to do. All it takes the for someone to sit you down and show you how to do it, what you need to do it and support you along the way when you have questions.

I am considering holding a special online workshop in the next couple of weeks where I will share with you all I know about how to get quality leads for free from Craigslist, what tools to use in your Craigslist lead gen , how to implement simple systems for Craigslist lead gen and follow up and what you need to do to convert those leads into cold hard commission checks.

Let me know what you thought about today’s post and whether or not you would be interested in attending the special online workshop about Craigslist lead getting below.
