Are you a homeowner stuck with a property that hasn't sold?  Maybe your listing expired, or you withdrew it from the market because the lack of progress disheartened you.  Or perhaps you tried to sell your home on your own with no results.

If that's you, you're in the right place!  Read this guide to learn:

~The top five reasons a home doesn't sell

~Action steps to overcome each of these issues

If your home didn't sell after several months on the market, timing could have been a factor.  Markets are driven by the law of supply and demand, and real estate is no exception.

When demand outpaces supply, it's considered a seller's market and homes get snapped up quickly.  In a buyer's market, however, there are more homes for sale than active buyers.  This can cause homes to sell for less money and to sit on the market for a longer period of time before receiving an offer.

Now What?

In most cases, buyers can be motivated to act with a combination of improvements, incentives and pricing.  If you suspect timing played a role in your inability to sell, consult with a knowledgeable real estate agent.  We can estimate how long a home like yours should take to sell given current market conditions.

Did your home get a steady stream of showings when it was on the market?  If not, you may need to try a new promotional strategy.

Take a look at your property description and photos.  A clear and compelling description and high-quality photos are crucial.  Many buyers use these to decide whether or not to visit your home.  Another factor to consider is whether your listing reached the right audience.  Some properties require a more robust marketing approach to be found by the most interested buyers.

Now What?

If you suspect ineffective marketing, consider turning to a skilled professional with a proven approach.  We employ the latest technologies to seed the marketplace, optimize for search engine placement and position your home for the best possible impression right out of the gate.

If your property received a lot of foot traffic but no offers, you may need to examine the impression your home made on buyers who visited your property.

Start with your home's structure and systems.  Are there any "red flags" that may have scared buyers away such as large cracks in the foundation or water stains on the ceiling?nnWhat about neglected maintenance and repairs?  Finally, was your home properly prepped to maximize its appeal?  A clean and decluttered space helps buyers more easily picture themselves living in your home.

Now What?

When we take on a new listing we always walk through it with the homeowner and point out any steps that should be taken to boost its sales potential.  In some cases we will recommend that you utilize staging techniques that are shown to help homes sell faster and for more money.  We can help you determine the appropriate budget and effort required to get your home sold.

It's possible your home's original asking price was set using sales data from before a market shift.  Regardless of the economic climate, pricing a home  can be tricky because so many factors can impact how much buyers are willing to pay.

Now What?

If you are not in a rush to sell, adjustments to timing or marketing may bring in a new pool of potential buyers.  Also, repairs, upgrades and staging can increase the perceived value of your home, which may be enough to bring a buyer to the table at your original list price.

However, if you need to sell quickly or you have already exhausted those options, a price reduction may be necessary to get your home the attention it needs.  We can help you determine a realistic asking price given today's market conditions.

(Or No Agent At All)

If you suspect your previous real estate agent did not do enough- or used the wrong approach to try to sell your home, you are not alone.  Many sellers whose homes have languished on the market until they expire or are withdrawn also feel this way.

Or perhaps you chose not to hire a real estate agent at all, and you have been trying to sell your home yourself.  That can be an equally frustrating experience, and research shows it can actually cost you more time and money in the long run.

Now What?

If either of these scenarios sounds familiar, we should talk.  At this point, you owe yourself more than the status quo when it comes to your real estate representation.  Our Multi-Step Property Marketing Plan can help sell your home for the most money, and in the process reconnect you with the hope you originally felt upon first putting your home on the market.  It's time for a new agent, new marketing, new buyers and most of all:  new possibilities!
