Hi Peter.... Craigslist is where the real estate weirdos, deviates, scammers and the criminal element hang out... if you want to those types of clients - then that would be a good place to prospect.

I haven't used it in a couple of years. The scammers made it a nightmare to keep track and vet the calls.

I don't use it for listings but others do. There are lots of problems with scams. It seems to work well, despite these, for rentals, and selling stuff

There are so many scams that i have faced from CL. Both buyers offering to send $100,000 extra and split it with me to scammer cloning my listing and placing it for rent at half price attracting countless victims

Between the scammers and the ghosting, it is a tough place to market listings. But it is the main game in town for rentals so we deal with it.

I say yes it's dead. I've recently noticed that nothing is coming from there where before there was alot of action. I have a few different things that track where stuff comes from & CL is a big zero.

It used to be a great place to get leads - remember the good old days? I am starting to post listings there just as part of my marketing - getting the word out - it is in fact pretty low hanging fruit and if it generates a lead once in a while.... well it didn't cost anything to get it. Obviously not a strong pillar of lead gen though.

I haven't been on Craig's List in more years than I can count. Too many hijacked listings... minimal response from good buyers.... too many scammers. My business was fine before CL and it's been fine since CL without CL.

We post all our listings on Craigslist - and repost them as often as they are available for this. We do get leads and can track sales because of this website.

We use it for every listing and sellers expect to find their home marketed on craigslist. It does have issues with scams, but we've only personally had problems a couple of times. We do get calls and emails on our listings from craigslist. However, we used to get tons of leads when we could link back to our website with the listing but craigslist changed so many rules about websites and links that its not a good source of lead generation anymore. But we do still get some inquiries. -Kasey

In our area, it has had problems with posting scams. They do try and remove them, but we would not recommend it. Each area differs. A

Peter Mohylsky A couple of times, my listing was 'hijacked' for rental and few poor people sent money to Nigeria.
Since then I stopped posting on Craigslist.

I have found it a good source.
However, NOT for marketing listings (yes for investor grade real estate)
Is is SUPERIOR for list building and offering SERVICES that do not read as 'BUYING?/SELLING?
HOWEVER, make certain to construct a digital barrier between your Craigslist activity and your real life presence.

There was a period years ago when there were a lot of scams on there- they were mostly rental scams. They'd take a beautiful listing & turn it into a cheap rental ad. That seems to have gone away for awhile now. I do get legit buyer calls from CL & continue to consistently use it to market to the CT & NY markets.

I would aggree with you AR is not the place to generate sales. A virtual flipper came over spoke at Saratoga club. The virtual investor makes 300-800 offers a month with often homes bought/sold from Craigslist. He generates 32.5K, 17.5K net profit each time often in hours or a day or so. W/O meeting anyone or being there.

Peter - I have not used CL in a long time for listings. I think it just got over saturated, and became a hot spot for scammers.
