I have some pretty decent listings right now and they are priced well, but for some reason only a couple are getting calls. I have done single property websites, i have the featured realtor.com package. I post to craigslist and a number of other sites on a weekly basis. I have virtual tours. I have good signage. I am just scratching my head wondering where the brokers are with their buyers?  I am getting alot of hits but no inquiries. Am i putting too much info out there?  Do i need to leave them wondering more?  Is it just the market?  Do i need to price EVERYTHING below market for people to be interested?  I would love to hear some others experience and see if there is something I am not doing or not doing enough of. I have done broker tours, sent out flyers to all the brokers in the area. What are you all doing to get more activity?  The listings have not been sitting for a long time, they did not start high on the price. They are not bank sales, they are in good condition. Sometimes it makes me 2nd guess " hmm am I a good broker or not " . I play well with others, I work with a TON of buyers, but these listings have me stumped.
