Why Did My House End Up As An Expired Listing? -The Pamela Madore Group


Why Didn't My House Sell?

The most common answer to that question is "my Realtor didn't do anything." Admittedly, Realtors have different approaches in their marketing and some approaches work better than others but overall we are on an equal playing field.
If I ask my seller what is the most important thing I can do for you, the answer is "sell my house".

If you want your house to sell you … (0 comments)

sell my amarillo house: Need Houses Priced Between $120,000 and $140,000 - 01/17/15 08:17 AM
 

Inventory Is Low.  Need Houses Between $120K-$140K
In 2014 almost 400 houses sold in that price range.  That is more than 30 a month and at this very moment we have only a 3 month supply.
Why is that a magic number? The $120,000 to $140,000 price range fits many first time home buyers.  When you bought your home you could very well have been a first time home buyer.
That price range keeps the payment affordable for a new buyer with under $1000 payment and under $50,000 income needed.
First-time home buyers are beginning to receive their income … (1 comments)

sell my amarillo house: Is Your Amarillo Realtor A Stalker? - 05/21/14 10:43 AM

When we list your house for sale, we become stalkers.  That may not sound like a good thing, but in this case it is.  You want your Realtor to stalk for you.


Bottom line?  We aggressively work above and beyond to be sure that the most amount of buyers have access to information about your house.  You have a much better chance of selling your house if 10,000 people know it is for sale than if only 100 people know it is for sale.
Let us do the stalking!  Don't Delay! … (0 comments)

When the Pink House Team lists your Amarillo house, in addition to putting the sign in the yard, we put a blue thing on your door.  This is the box where your key is kept and other Realtors need a magic key to open it.  Here is a short video showing you how it works.

Keller Williams Realty 806-340-7630   SELLING MY AMARILLO HOUSE WAS A NIGHTMARE.....   And it still isn't sold.  Recently I was told this story (paraphrased) by a very dissatisfied seller.   "We wanted to sell our house because it is simply too small. We called the Realtor we used when we bought the house because she was awesome.  Well, she retired and referred us to another Realtor.  That is when the problem started.   My husband and I work different shifts so he is home asleep during the day. We needed some notice so that he wouldn't be … (0 comments)

If you are a seller in Amarillo and you are frustrated because your house hasn't sold, let me give you a few tips that might help you. Remember this is a joint effort! 
Be aware that the buyer determines whether or not the house sells.  My job as a Realtor is to make sure that your house is everywhere to be found.  Most buyers start online looking for a house so every nook and cranny must have your house listed.
Be sure that your house is easy to show.  Recently, I had a house that … (0 comments)

KEEP YOUR HOUSE WARM IN COLD WEATHER
During the cold winter months it is normal behavior to turn the thermostat down when you leave the house in the morning.  I am going to tell you why this is a bad idea if you are trying to sell your house in Amarillo during the winter.
Picture this (and this is quite normal for Amarillo).  It is 40 degrees with a wind chill of factor making it feel like 30.  A brave and fearless Realtor (me) is showing houses to "in a hurry" buyers.  They have to … (0 comments)

Welcome to the 60's and 70's.  There were also pink, gold, blue, and I even saw a lavender bath tub.  Dark paneling was a style that seemed OK at the time.  What were they thinking?  Oh.  How about shag carpet?
Styles come and go.  Formica replaced by granite.  Hardwood floors replaced by carpet.  Smooth walls replaced by texture.  Popcorn ceilings? Sunken living rooms? The list goes on and on.  We always want change.

Common questions from buyers--"does it have granite" or "has it  been updated" or "does it have popcorn"?  These … (0 comments)

The answer is, when the home has been taken care of and loved.  That is what you will find in this home.  It has 2 large bedrooms.  The kitchen has been extended to create a large kitchen/dining area.

New Year's Resolutions wear off after 2-3 weeks.  I once heard someone say that we opening a gym/bar. The first 2 weeks of the year it would be a gym and then the other 50 weeks it would be a bar.  That sounds like a very good investment.
The way to make changes in your life is to have a plan and then to execute the plan in a systematic way and over time it will become a habit.   Gary Keller says in his book The One Thing  that it takes 66 … (0 comments)

As a kid growing up, like most of us, I learned the art of negotiating by practicing on my parents.  They said "no" and I negotiated until I got either a yes or at least a compromise.  If you were to ask my mother she would only sigh.
 
Not all kids are that way.  My brother, for instance, just went along.  My sister, on the other hand, didn't negotiate.  She just refused.
We aren't all born negotiators.  Negotiating is a skill that you can learn but like anything else it is much more effective … (0 comments)

Perspective is everything.  My dad was a great photographer and he always told me to be sure and look at the background when taking a picture.  I ended up with some doozies in my time; trees sticking out of my mother's head,  a telephone pole monopolizing a family photo, and many more.
As a Realtor, it is important that we pay attention to this when taking photographs.  Take, for instance, the below photo.  This was taken by a Realtor to put in our Multiple Listing Service.  Do you think they noticed the condo?  The … (0 comments)

Day after day after day you wait for the phone call telling you that someone is showing your house.  You have kept your house pristine from Day 1 even though with 2 kids that was a challenge.  The very few times the phone has rung and your house was shown, you wait expectantly for an offer or at least a call with feedback.  No contracts and sometimes not even feedback.  You are disappointed, disillusioned, and at your wit's end.  The stress is at its peak.  And then your listing expires with your current agent. … (0 comments)

sell my amarillo house: Why Did You Buy Your House? - 10/31/13 08:34 AM

Pink House Team
When we list a house it is important for us to know why they bought the house.  Very often the new buyer will buy for the same reasons.  Our owners at this listing told us why they bought the house.

    Why did you buy this house?   They told us that it was just the right size and on a dead-end street so that it would be safe for their children.  The house had a big back yard which was important to them. They were very excited when they bought it to discover that … (2 comments)

sell my amarillo house: Team Work Makes The Dream Work At The Pink House Team - 10/28/13 09:18 AM
 
   
 
Greetings from the Pink House Team at Keller Williams Realty!
 
 
The real estate transaction is becoming more and more complex.  Every year, at least once, our contract has changes.  The mortgage part of the transaction eliminates many buyers from buying.  More and more people are beginning their search for houses online.  Sellers are looking online for comparable houses.  In other words, times are changing!
 
Because of all of the many changes, in order to keep up we decided that it would serve our buyers and sellers better if we became a team of specialists instead of … (0 comments)
