Finding New Business in a Weak Economy

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Split Rock Fine Homes

In today's market with all the uncertainly in the economy it sometimes makes you uncertain about where you are going to find the next deal.  We are coming into our most active season right now, but the buyers are still looking for a better deal.  You can tote and tote and the buyers want to see more and more.  They are hesitant about placing an offer because they are sure the price will go down in the next month or so.  Any suggestions on this one???

I have decided to solve this issue for myself by working expired listings and building my own inventory of properly priced homes, showable & sellable.  I have picked up 4 listing in the last 5 weeks and I have one more coming on board next week. I had the seller get appraisals on the properties so we know we are priced right.  I've had a lot of activity on all the properties but still waiting for the offers to come in.  I have a very aggressive message on my mailing to the expired and have received several calls, so I do have several more expired that are in the wings.  Glad to share more information on this with you, but until then happy selling to all and have a wonderful day!! 

Here's my thought for the day "The best portion of a good man's life: his little, nameless unremembered acts of kindness and love. -William Wordsworth"

Debbie - I work the expired listings also. They are usually realistic about pricing their homes correctly the 2nd or 3rd time around.
