I Feel Like It’s Been On the Market Forever!

Kathy,

If someone wants to buy a property listed at 108 million, they have to have a billion dollar net worth or just under that...There are 2800 billionaires world wine and just over 500 live in the US.  That is a teeny tiny market... There are more Ultra high net worth individuals (30 plus million to a billion) 212,000 of those. world wide.   A 

“If you are selling your home and want to maximize your investment, start out with the right professionals.” 

That’s a great statement, Kathy!"

Morning Kathy.

If that photo is of the home it looks fine to me.  Hopefully, she'll take your advice and it sells quick

Such a shame this seller went through all that. Finding the right agent and stager is not always easy but so important! 

Kathy, it might have taken her awhile but, I'm so glad she found you. She probably feels like you've taken a weight off her shoulders. I hope that you do a follow-up post once the house goes under contract. I know your staging expertise will make it happen. 

It's always the little things that a seasoned professional can gingerly point out to the seller to make the property move forward to a closing.  Certainly hiring a stager can streamline the process

I hope withyour help she gets multiple offers!

I've seen it happens so often....house sits, vacant, no offers, stager comes in, then --home goes under contract!

We know all about agents who take a listing and are never heard from again. I forget how many of them we went through before listing with our current agent. He is at least doing enough marketing to get a showing now and then.

Can't do staging as it's a rental duplex. At least our tenants are clean and neat - I'm thankful for that.

There is no lack of agents who will take any listing under almost any terms.

It takes a knowledgeable professional to get the job done and done right.

Price is a big factor for why a property is on the market a long time. However, having the home show ready is also important. Stagers know how to get the job done. 

Sorry these folks had to go through so many agents.

Hi Kathy Streib, glad to hear she found you at last. Hope the home will be under contract soon.  

Wonderful post, Kathy! It's great that it's clean but, what they needed were true professionals, both an agent & stager. My stager and I have picked up the pieces many times and it never fails to sell quickly when we take on the listing. It makes a difference when you hire the RIGHT professional - ALWAYS!

This is a great one for Carol Williams' second chance post for the week! 

Oh, Kathy Streib , that poor woman. I am sure you were able to help guide her in the right direction, and I am glad she called you!
