No Longer a CraigsList Virgin


It's my first posting on CraigsList!

The Carriage House at 692 Neil is going to be available at the end of the month. The woman who has lived there for nearly six years is moving out and moving up. So, it's time to find a new tenant. That's where the infamous CraigsList comes in.

The leasing sign is posted in the front yard like a realtor's "for sale" sign... but only the people actually driving by see that. When the ad is online, it's available to tons more people! And with a lot of students and professionals making the late-summer move, now is the time to get the word out there.

The posting was free. And relatively easy (once all the confirmations went through). It has photos and a link to the website with even more info.

So, cross your fingers! Let's see how well it works!

How did the Craigs list posting work for you? It is a little scary and I've only done it twice but you just have to be careful, as with most things. :)

Actually, it worked out really well. Several people came to see the Carriage House because they saw the ad online (and checked out 692neil.com). I think having photos available on Craig's List makes a huge difference... you'd never be able to do that with a newspaper classified ad. I also sold a lawn mower on Craig's List. So far, so good.
