Don't change the sign out front!

While walking my dog, Diesel, this morning I noticed a couple of town houses on the Rockledge Country Club that had new real estate signs out front.

They have been for sale for a long time! Not sure exactly the months (years?) but a long time!

• I wondered... where is the issue? Why have these not sold yet? After all, they are in a reasonably nice location.

• I wondered if the real estate agent(s) had marketed over the Internet. I hear that is very effective!

• I wondered if the agent(s) ever conducted an open house? They sometimes work although rarely.

• I wondered if the agent(s) had spent a lot of money on mostly ineffective print advertising?

• I wondered what problems these properties had lurking behind the front door? After all, everyone knows if it does not sell right away, there must be a problem!

Then it occurred to me....I could have had a V8! Not really, it must be.....PRICE!

As a seller sometimes you just have to call your agent up, be direct and ask them "How is my price, really?"

Changing the sign out front will rarely never sell a property if the price is not consistent with the competition!
