What To Do When Your House Don't Sell

Here's a list of important facts we gather from homes that did not sell.

Q & A

What to Do When Your House Doesn't Sell? 

• Q: "My agent did not do enough open houses" A: Houses that are sold during an open house is a very rare event indeed. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently said that only 11% of homes are sold during an open house. What are the chances, you wake up a Sunday morning and you are lured by an open house sign and later you're signed up to buy a house?  Buyers plan months ahead before qualifying and getting ready to buy a home. During this time, they have touched at least a dozen Realtors that will be more than willing to show them any house in the market, every day of the week! Open houses attract other sellers and future (6 months) buyers for your agent. 
• Q: "My agent kept me on the dark, with no communication or feedback!"A: This is bad. I heard agents refusing to answer their phone, hiding from their selling clients, no where to be found. The only reason I see is that they did not have a clue why the listing was not selling? Feedback is important when you are selling anything. Adjusting the presentation of the product is priority #1 for a listing. As a matter fact, on the contrary, when one of my listings is not selling, that's when I speak to my clients more often. 
• Q:"I don't think my agent was doing enough advertising to sell my house"A: The most important component to advertising a home for sale is really the asking price! If you are "NOT" within the market suggested price range, bikini girls dancing on your front yard will not sell your house.  In reality, our Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is the source where all the advertising is stimulated from. Any home listed in the MLS is syndicated across the web to literally thousands of websites, all done automatically. Is in this "extra" advertisement what separates selling agents from listing agents with expired listings.. .and that "extra" advertisment could be the difference your home gets sold or not!

The many  steps involved in the home-selling process are very similar to those involved in the home-buying process. When you have made the decision to sell your home, you will need to establish a strong marketing campaign to attract the right buyers.

While a small percentage of  sellers successfully sell their homes on their own, a for-sale-by-owner arrangement can be complicated tedious and will require a great deal more of your personal time throughout the process. 

Times have changed, 

It is not enough to just stick a sign on the ground, a few ads and hope to find a buyer willing to pay you top price for your property.

For this reason, most people consider hiring a real estate agent that devotes 100% of their time looking for buyers for their clients.

Don't make the mistake in trying to save a commission on one end...and losing 4 to 5 times more  under-selling your property.

"The commission paid to a real estate professional is well worth the investment to assure yourself of 100% coverage of the marketing necessary to get top dollar for your home"

 

plus the convenience, time savings and overall guidance provided by a professional is well worth the money invested.
