Knock Knock....Who's There?

Your Real Estate Professional, to Sell Your Expired MLS Listing!

Many people think because there home expired it isn't going to sell. That is the farthest thing from the truth.

Expired listings happen for a number of reasons. Here is the top 10 reasons homes don't sell.

1. You didn't have a marketing plan to sell.
2. Lack of Experience by your former agent.
3. Condition, outside, roof, exterior finish, inside...bathrooms, flooring, heating, electrical, plumbing, paint and cosmetics
4. Location
5. Priced wrong for your market.
6. Home not accessible to show
7. Layout
8. Yard Size....some homes have very small yards or no yards, and the majority of buyers want some elbow room.
9. Curb Appeal...turns buyers off when they drive up to the home.
10. Communication and lack of willingness to negotiate.

So if your listing expired and you don't understand why, it isn't your home....unless you can see items on the list above.

Once your listing expires you will get a pile of fancy letters from Realtors. They will tell you why your home didn't sell. Yet they have never sold a home in your neighborhood. Others will blame your former Realtor for lack of marketing or experience or both.

Sometimes homes just don't sell. But there is ALWAYS a reason.

You may not like the reason but there is a reason. Usually it is a combination of issues that impact the reason a home did not sell.

My number one reason is communication between the agent and seller. Being honest, discussing openly the need to sell and preparing a marketing plan to meet that need. Communication to make adjustments early in the selling process. Meaning if you set an initial sell price and nothing happens....make adjustments.

Your home or business is going to sell for more in the first month of your listing contract. Take advantage of the selling traffic. If you price high at first you will miss you best opportunity to sell fast and for the most money. Most sellers and agents miss this golden....Price Right, Sell Fast....make More Money.

You may think that reduces the agents efforts...that couldn't be more wrong. The fact that the agent helped you with great market pricing analysis and suggested a sell price that worked meant...the agent did their job.....exactly right!

How much does it cost you to not sell? Interest, taxes, profit and missed opportunity to have what you really want. You have decided to sell for a reason. Now make your decision happen.

Choose the best agent for you...one that communicates, has knowledge and will openly discuss your situation.

The results will make you smile....all the way to the bank!
