Ad to Sell your house FAST using Craigslist

If you don't have a buyers list don't worry. The majority of my wholesale deals that I flipped were sold using Craigslist. That's right about 80% of my buyers were found or came from that site. I could literally write and E-book on it. There are some unique techniques I use on Craigslist to get the house sold ASAP...usually before its locked under contract and also use a technique on the best price to lock it up at so that it sells quickly. More on that next time. Below is an example of one of my best ads that draws in buyers. So just modify it obviously to your particular deal.

 

$29000 / 4br - 1464ft² - Need to Sell my house BEFORE Feb 1st!!! (Barberton, OH)

 

 

Must Sell House Asap (before Feb 1st)!

4bed / 2bath, 1464 sqft (has 3 lots)

House is in Really Great Shape!!

Asking $29,000. (Must be serious CASH BUYER!!) (Sorry No Rent to Own)

Taxes will be prorated at closing. Closing costs roughly $500

Price is somewhat negotiable.

Serious Inquires only!!

 

 

 

In this ad you are sound like you are the motivated homeowner being direct and to the point.. Notice the title says "Sell house BEFORE Feb 1st" that basically states your running out of time or something bad is going to happen if its not sold by then.

 

Then brief description (bed, bath, sqft, and shape its in). Then price and note it says serious cash buyers. This eliminates tire kickers or Joe time waster from calling you.

Next let them know any taxes will be prorated. Must cash buyers are smart enough to look up the house on the county website to see if they may be stuck with back taxes...etc. Next know a round about number for your closing cost. If you have a particular Title co you use, you should have an idea.

Then of course let them know price is negotiable to just reconfirm with potential buyer your motivated ( make sure there is room for negotiations within your sale price). Remember Serious Inquires only after that. Then property address so they can do a drive by and take a look before they contact you. That eliminates you from wasting your time and showing a property to someone who was interested and changed their mind after they saw the property.

 

Your email or phone deciding on whatever you want to have buyers contact you back at should get lots of calls or emails like mine do!
