Craig Newmark - I owe you bigtime - Thanks
By Now, you've probably heard of Craigslist. I have tons of respect for Craig Newmark and crew. They have developed and maintained one of the coolest services on the planet. Craig helped me make many thousands of dollars in a really short period of time.
I was one of the first real estate brokers in manhattan to post apartment listings on Craigslist. About 45 seconds after posting my first *free* apartment listing, my phone rang off the hook. I scheduled 15 appointments and rented 7 apartments that day. - Mr. Newmark, I owe you bigtime - I made about $6,000 in one day.
Well, times have changed a bit and other brokers got wise to the splendor of this service. Looks like craigslist may begin charging for apartment listing ads in New York City - Craig, I say go for it. Users deserve high quality ads and you deserve some dough.
Nonetheless, apartment hunters should continue to turn to Craiglsist to find great apartments in Manhattan. Heck, you should even go there to get lucky :-)
