I've been running an advertisement once a week or so in craigslist under misc. jobs - the subject: House Hunter Wanted

Here is what I put in the add:

Hi.

Are you looking for some extra income? I'm looking for some help finding more properties for my real estate business.

My company is looking to buy 4 houses each month from the Oklahoma City area. I'll pay you $657 for EVERY house you find for me that I end up buying.

What if you send me houses to look at that I don't end up buying? Well, I'll only pay you for the ones I actually end up buying. I'll give you that in writing.

To some people, that sounds too good to be true. But you'll feel differently when you have that first check in your hands.

I'll show you exactly what to look for, and how to look for the houses I'm looking to buy. There is no registration fee or training fee. I provide that as a bonus.

I own an established home-buying company in Oklahoma City. We've been in business for the last 14 years. We're here to stay.

Interested? Reply back for more detail. I'll email you the details so you can decide if this opportunity is right for you.

Thanks - my name

If they reply, I follow that up with a description of what they will actually do, and how to find what I'm looking for, etc.

The response is really good- usually I'll get 25 or so people per ad I run who I can put a sublist (for email).

My question is:
Do you see anything I can do to improve my results?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
