How many reasons can you name that this home did NOT sell?

You may have heard me say when a home does not sell, there can be blame thrown all around. As I write this on Valentine's Dy, here is a story about a brokern heart. This  Manchester NH area Home has not sold. SO how many reasons can the seller give that it has not sold? 

1. The home has not sold because the real estate sign is crooked.

2. The home has not sold because there is something on the bathroom sink you can see in your MLS pictures. 

3. The home has not sold because you wont count the finished basement as square footage. 

4. The home has not sold because the rug is crooked you can see in your MLS pictures. 

5. The home has not sold because there are things on the table you can see in your MLS pictures. 

6. The home has not sold because you have snow in your MLS pictures.  (It is winter)

7. The home has not sold because there are personal pictures on the wall you can see in your MLS pictures. 

8. The home has not sold because your wording is all wrong. Do not write about the features of the home, write about how I redid the home myself into what it is today.

9. The home has not sold because there is clothes/blankets on the bed in your MLS  pictures.

10. The home has not sold because Zillow has my home valued $30,000 less than I am asking for it.

Yes these are real. Sad but true. Excuse after excuse. This is when I need to stand up on my soapbox and say. NONE OF THESE REASONS ARE WHY THE HOME HAS NOT SOLD ------THE HOME HAS NOT SOLD BECAUSE IT IS OVER PRICED!!! Not just over priced, but way over priced by $30,000.  The hard truth is buyers avoid over priced homes. 

It is rare that a seller will want to micro manage a home sale. Most sellers work with their listing agent and not against them. The seller prepares the home for the photo shoot and then pictures are taken. Anything the seller does not want in a picture should be removed prior to selling. A seller should put their trust in their agent to write the wroding used in manager. Include the pictures tht show the home in the greatest light. AND price the home where it should be from the start.

The moral of the story is that there is a recipe for a home to sell qiuck. Work with your agent not against them. Price your home correctly and let your agent market the home to attract offers.

That every Buyer or Seller should not choose just any agent, choose the BEST agent for the job. Having an agent that works for you is a must. 

My philosophy is simple, provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process. All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. Those that hire me, find a dedication like no other.
