Uh Oh....frustration has set in! I started my morning with a very frustrated client. An equity seller who is just "trying to sell" their home. And all H-E-Double Toothpicks is setting in.
Calm down....let's figure this out!
The good and bad news is that they are getting tons of showings. I mean 3-4 a day. Great? Right? Sort of.....no offers yet. They are rearranging their days over-and-over and no offers. They are becoming unglued.
"Why? Why aren't we getting offers? Are we priced too high? Is the home not showing well? Can we do something different?"
Here's the honest truth!
I don't think we need to lower the price....you are getting 3-4 showings a day! If the home was priced too high, you would not be getting people through the door. The home shows beautifully.....you know this! You keep the home spotless, you have upgraded EVERYTHING and very neutrally. It shows very well. What can we do different? We can wait for the right buyer....you are in no hurry! In fact....you are in an "under-hurry".....the home you are waiting for isn't built yet.
The one thing you can do? Try and relax...don't jump through every hoop a buyer's agent throws. Keep your family time in tact. Don't run out at a moment's notice because someone called last minute. Be cooperative....but don't make yourself stressed either. Be accommodating...but not unreasonably so.
We can set showing times....if you like. We can limit weekend times to an open house. No calls after 7pm....think about your routine and let's work around it. You need harmony in your household.....then the waiting will seem more, well, reasonable. When you are stressed, panic can set in.
