Crazy Sh*t In Real Estate with Leigh Brown - Episode #38 with Susanne Casey

Have you ever considered using Craigslist for your next home
purchase? Perhaps it’s just reserved for that broken toaster or
teal ottoman you’ve had your eye on. Susanne Casey not only
helped one client purchase a house on Craigslist, but THREE
clients for the SAME house, over a span of 2 years—poor woman. In
this episode, Leigh interviews Susanne Casey from Columbus, Ohio,
who takes us into her Craigslist buying fiasco and why sometimes
we’re just better off calling  a realtor.
