So we’ve talked about quite a few free ways to find Short Sale listings, but lets mention one more.
Free classified listings can also be a source of finding Short Sale listings. Free classified listings are all over the place. Craigslist would be one that most people have heard of. One of the good things about Craigslist is that most communities have their own page, and pages are being added for smaller and smaller communities all the time.
Another would be Backpage.com which is much like Craigslist though it has fewer cities, sticking to mostly larger cities, though they are adding cities all the time.
There are smaller classified services that are not national, but do have ads by local such as AmmericanClassifieds.com.
If you look around on the internet you will find many more free classified ad listings. But you do want to find ones where you can place ads for your local area, not just national listings for obvious reasons.
There are also many local newspapers that have free classified listing, be on the lookout for those.
Some people might wonder why these classified listings would be of value. They may think that if someone needs a Short Sale why would they be looking in the classifieds. Often when someone has a problem they may look to see what other homes are selling for. If they see your ad and it tells them how you could help them in their situation they are very likely to give you a call. Or someone looking may know someone who needs help and refer them to you.
If you can find 2-3 good free classified listings in your area, for a few minutes of time you’ll have one more way for people to find you who need your help. Don’t overlook the power of this type of advertising.
