Jack Butala:                         Jack Butala with Jill DeWit.

Jill DeWit:                            Hi there.

Jack Butala:                         Welcome to our show today. In this episode Jill and I talk about no need for a real estate agent to buy or sell any property type, any property type.

Jill DeWit:                            Any property type?

Jack Butala:                         You don't need ...

Jill DeWit:                            Any property type.

Jack Butala:                         ... a real estate agent. Imagine that. I love this topic. It's Jill week by the way. Jill chose all these topics.

Jill DeWit:                            Thank you.

Jack Butala:                         Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on LandAcademy.com. It's our online community and it's free.

Jill DeWit:                            In a minute I'll tell you my real title here for this because I like it. Okay. Robert asked, "On location based sales sites like Craigslist and Facebook, do you only post your property for sale in the area it is located? For example, if you have an Arizona property would you just post it on an Arizona Craigslist?"

Jack Butala:                         No. I would post it in Los Angeles, I would post it in anywhere you think someone would be interested in buying property in Arizona, which is everywhere.

Jill DeWit:                            Back east.

Jack Butala:                         Craigslist specifically ... Yeah some real stringent rules about posting the exact same thing, the exact same posting, and I mean exact, in multiple areas. You have to change the ad up. You have to change a posting pretty dramatically to pass their tests. Reword it, you can't copy and paste almost anything.

I talk about it in our land program that there's a product that we do really well with called Vacation Properties. For instance, Northern Michigan we sell property- you would never post a Northern Michigan property in a- you would do it, but in addition to that you would post it in the Chicago Craigslist and the Detroit because people vacation up there. Same thing with Florida. People buy Florida property all up and down, they live up and down in the East Coast.

To clearly answer your question Robert, no. I would post it all over the place, wherever you can. I don't have as much experience with Facebook ads. I mean a lot of experience with Facebook ads, but not as much with Facebook Marketplace specifically where it's five or eight or 10 or 50 or I think even 100 miles out. It's brand new and I'm more about doing this show and some other things than posting properties these days.

Jill DeWit:                            It's true.

Jack Butala:                         Our members are telling us that Facebook Marketplace is an awesome place to sell property.

Jill DeWit:                            Right. In the groups, there's a lot of groups.

Jack Butala:                         Facebook groups.

Jill DeWit:                            There's a lot of groups that not only are the groups about those vacation properties, but they might be other investors and things like that. Great place to post property in Facebook groups. Jack and I, you could hit a couple hundred thousand people in a Facebook blast for free in 10 minutes. It's not hard at all.

Jack Butala:                         Yeah. Our combined reach is in the millions.

Jill DeWit:                            That takes about 20 minutes.

Jack Butala:                         Yeah. [crosstalk 00:02:51] We have LandPin set up, which is our land website where members sell stuff and we do too.
