Expired Listings and Realtors® Who Don't Do Their Job Properly.

Even in a hot market, 52% of listings end up as expired listings.

ANYTHING will sell if it's priced properly. Unfortuanately, too

many agents, either because of expedience or lack of

tools, take over-priced listings, hoping someone,

somewhere, will sell it. Sorry. In a not-so-hot

market, pricing is critical.

Oh yeh, and praying isn't going to help.

Me? I love expireds. The customer is already "softened up".

The listing didn't sell...because...it was too much money!

They know it now and that makes my job easier.

So, for all you listers out there that insist on buying listings,

THANK YOU!

I'll pick it up, list it properly and sell it.

Terry,

You're right about the sellers being softened up.

Most of my listings have been previously listed.

I often ask for a premium commission on the smaller transactions. The sellers are happy because the deal gets done.

Brian

Brian,

Adding more commissions works too.

Yeah, somewhat we end up to that Terry.

Jonelle,

Expireds are my bread and butter.

As a Fraser Valley Realtor with Homelife Glenayre, I specialize in the Mission/ Abbotsford areas. I live in the Mission area and make it a point to know this market intimately. From time to time I will feature local Mission businesses on my blog entries to give prospective buyers a little more insight into the area. As well as working with buyers and sellers in the Canadian market, I have networked with several realtors in Arizona, Nevada and California and together we market foreclosed on properties in the south 48.
