A few top reasons why some homes sell and others don't!

Why do some houses sell and others don't?
There's no ultimate answer to this question, however here are s few top reasons properties stay on the market and don't sell:

Lousy pictures on the Web: No excuse for bad pictures or no pictures. When clients look on line they want lots of pictures of the property and the home.

Priced too high for the neighborhood: Lots of sellers think their home is worth more because of a number of reasons. Never skip a CMA.

Blah interior:You may want to consider a home stager. No question about de-cluttering it sure helps.

Ho-hum landscaping: First impression do make a difference! It doesn't cost a lot to plant a few flowers along the pathways.

Little online marketing and hard-to-find MLS listings: If an agent is not up on the times with marketing like the Internet, your home could be hard to find.

Low commissions: Some Agents make sure their clients see properties that offer a better payoff.

Miserable maintenance: including ceiling stains, leaky faucets, and ancient furnaces. Repainting doesn't cost too much, and will usually make the biggest impact on buyers. Consider putting in new carpet if its too worn or stained.

Not easily accessable: Some homes have a key at the office or appointment only. Make it as convenient as possible for agents to show your home. Clients don't want to wait 24 hrs. to look at a home. Have a lockbox put on your home.

HAPPY SELLING!
