1.) Postcards

Mail simple postcards to areas with high turnover rates and include a link to a landing page. Use a call to action such as: We have buyers looking in your area, if you’re thinking about selling, now is the time!

2.) Google

Run Adwords campaigns for premarket keywords.

3.) Facebook

Run Facebook ads to lead capture pages offering home valuations.

4.) Craigslist

Post “we buy houses” ads on Craigslist.

6.) Retargeting
