Has your home Expired? Consumers Your Opinion is Needed.

Expired? Yes, reached the end of its contractual obligation to be listed on the MLS and with the listing Realtor. On an average most Realtors will list your home for 6 months or at-least the length of time that is equal to or greater than the average days on market (average number of days that it has taken to sell homes similar to yours in your neighborhood).

Couple of questions. Did you interview the Realtor you hired to sell your home? What kind of questions did you ask? Would you ask different questions now that your home has expired? Are you going to let the same Realtor re-list your home? What was their marketing plan? How did you arrive at the list price? (see overprice properties blog) What were their average days on market for the homes that they have listed?

Selling a home is not as easy as putting a sign in the yard and hoping and praying that it sells. The same old same old that has been done is nearing its end. Realtors are having to step up to the plate and realize that you can't just put a sign in the yard and wait for a buyer. You need to be an expert in the area, your industry and proficient in technology.

Before you re-list your home with the same Realtor that failed to sell it the first time maybe you should consider interviewing other Realtors for the position. Just because a Realtor agrees to list your home doesn't mean that it is in your best interest. Check the facts and rely on the numbers and ask lots of questions.
