9. Listing Your Home With Agent or Company With Little or NO Internet Strategy:

Let’s face it, the only reason that you’re reading this report is because you seen it on-line.  Well, most buyers are just like you – they start their home searches over the Internet months before they decide to do anything. 

In fact, according to a survey RE/MAX Ontario Atlantic did, a jaw-dropping 85% of all home buyers start their search on-line. 

So, it’s not exactly a big secret that you’ve got to have TRAFFIC! TRAFFIC! TRAFFIC! to your home in order to sell it. 

Holey smoke! It’s all a numbers game.  And if you neglect to post your home on specific sites or go with an agent who disregards an Internet strategy, you WILL miss out on thousands of potential buyers knowing about your house. 

In essence, without proper exposure, you’ll get fewer showings and you’ll be forced to settle for a much lower price.

10. Too Slow To Make Crucial Adjustments:

Homeowners that sell their homes for ‘more’ than fair market value typically sell within 45 days. 

Fact is, the longer your home is on the market, the less it’ll sell for. 

So, being able to adjust to the market and make a simple fix here and there will boost your chances of a quicker sale. 

The absolute surest way to make these adjustments is through feedback – both from real estate agents and from the market. 

Unfortunately, homeowners do not get feedback from most agents.  In fact, through a recent study, 72% of all homeowners that used an agent to sell their home said that they weren’t happy due to “Poor Communication”. 

This is how most home owners get bent over backwards and for these reasons, this lack of feedback results in prolonged listings as well as dissatisfaction towards Realtors.

11. Listing With Agents That Operate A “Sales Prevention” Program!

I’m sure you’ll agree, getting information on homes from Realtors is a lot of hassle. 

Either you’re chasing down an agent or the bulldog’s hounding you.  Many agents intentionally leave out critical information on listings just to get you to call them. 

So, often when buyers phone for the information, they either get the run around or an unwanted sales pitch.  As a result, this pisses off buyers when calling on your home and can often have them by-pass your house altogether.
