If you use Craigslist.org you need to watch this video.  Many agents are using ads on Craigslist that are not really relevant to what consumers are searching for.  For example go to the real estate section on Craigslist in your local market and type in “has the market stabilized” or “price trends” or MLS stats” or “market update” think like a consumer not like a Realtor.  What do consumers want to know most right now?  In many cases they simply want to know that is it safe to buy.  Many people are sitting on the fence waiting for the “bottom” of the market do you have a system that automatically updates consumers and educates them on relevant market data that comes directly from your MLS 24 hrs a day 7 days a week?  If not you may want to look into “Market Snapshot” from Realtor.com and Top Producer.  This system delivers accurate MLS data on the market conditions direct from your MLS to the consumer (from you) and allows you to generate a consistent lead flow by offering this info to customers on sites like Craigslist, Facebook, Twitter, your website etc.  Watch this video for tips on setting this up on Craigslist.
