Advertise your home for lease option

Whether you are a home seller, a real estate agent or a real estate investor you should be using Craigslist to advertise your home as a lease option or rent to own. I do almost all my advertising exclusively on Craigslist now and generate tons of good rent to own buyer leads.

It’s free, it’s easy and the competition (at least in my area) is low. Buyer’s look here though and it has served as a powerful lead generator.

Here are two sample ads I have used:

Ad 1:

$2195/4 BR – Great Home on Rent to Own (Wayne)

A great home in Wayne on a Lease Option/Rent to Own. Call today to find out more how I can help you. I help buyers find lease options or contract for deed homes. Working with buyers that have credit issues is my specialty. Own a home even if you need some time to improve your credit. STOP RENTING! There are no fees to you for my service. Wendy at Keller Williams Realty, you can email me at wendy@wendypatton.com – You will need a minimum of $10,000 to get into a home with this type of transaction. I look forward to working with you soon to buy your new home.

Ad 2:

$1695/3 BR – 3/2/2 in Great Area – Lease Option (Clifton)

Clifton great home with 3 bdrms, 2 baths, and a 2 car garage. Nice area. Lease to own with $7,500 down. Credit problems ok. My specialty is working with buyers who have less than perfect credit There is no fee to you. Email me today, Wendy at Keller Williams, wendy@wendypatton.com

Both of these ads have drawn solid responses from lease option buyers. If you are a real estate agent or a lease option investor you can use these ads even if you don’t have a lease option home available yet. Once you get the buyer leads then you can find a lease option home that works for them.
