Why do some homes sell in days while others dont sell in 6 months? Home Sellers are demanding answers in the Manchester NH area. The question of the day is "Will the 2 feet of snow melt in Central Park before homes being listed today sell?" 
Most often homes do not sell because they are priced too high or a lack of marketing by their agent. Please review my additional Top 10 reasons the snow may melt this spring long before your home sells despite a shortage of homes for sale in some areas.
THE TOP 10 REASONS YOUR HOME MAY NOT SELL
1. Your home may not sell because you hired Aunt Betty to list their home who works in Real Estate "on the side"
2. Your home may not sell because you hired some out of town agent they saw on TV,
3. Your home may not sell because you didn't bother to clean, didn't feel like removing the clutter.
4. Your home may not sell because you did not let buyers in when they wanted to see the home.
5. Your home may not sell because you chose the agent that gave them the highest value, one way over what any neighbors houses have sold for.
6. Your home may not sell because your agent did not enter a complete listing in MLS, did not put in a realistic description and failed to use plenty of good photos showing off it's special features.
7. Your home may not sell because you did not fix anything they should and the screen door still hangs off its hinges
8. Your home may not sell because all those times the pet "did their business" on the carpet are still there,
9. Your home may not sell because "it was too soon" to accept that almost full price offer we got right after listing and here we are 6 months later with no other offers.
10. Your home may not sell because you demand to be home for every showing and follow the buyer around as they look at the home.
THE BOTTOM LINE is that there is a Right way and a Wrong to buy or sell a home.
The HARD TRUTH is that the BEST way to be prepared to buy or sell a home is by hiring a "GOOD" Agent. One that will guide you through each step of the Buying or Selling process. To the consumers who were successful, they found the secret which I would like to share with you. Free advice can be worth what you paid for it, so when you are ready, do it right.
If you read all the way to hear, i hope you like my series of "catchy titles" They are meant to grab your attention and let Buyers and Sellers know how to avoid such pitfalls by simply hiring a better agent. One that will work with them throughout the buying and selling process.
THE TOP TIPS TO FIND A "GREAT" REAL ESTATE AGENT
1. LEARN THIS ONE FACT: One should know that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest Agent or Company. It is important to Hire the BEST Agent. In NH that could be me.
2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AGENT: As a Buyer OR Seller in this market you need every advantage you can to get your home sold. It starts with choosing the right agent. a. Ask for a Full time agent whose sole job is to sell homes. b. Ask for a Full service agent who will guide you through each step of the selling process. Discount brokers often equal discount services. c. Ask for a Local agent who knows your neighborhood and is readily available when you need them is a must. Out of town agents can leave you high and dry in your time of need. d. Ask for a well experienced Listing Agent can give you the advantages you need when selling your home. Not all agents are created equal. Choose only the best.
3. HOME BUYERS SHOULD START BY: Getting a FREE PRE-QUALIFICATION with a local and trusted lender. They will look at your credit and financial picture and let you know what type of mortgage you may qualify for and what your interest rate and monthly payment may be.
4. HOME SELLERS SHOULD START BY: Getting a FREE MARKET ANALYSIS. Learn what your property is worth in today's market along with how ling it may take to sell. If you are ready to sell now, learn what you should ask for it. How much offers may come in at and what the approximate selling price should be. NH Home owners should contact me now.
IN SUMMARY the key to having a successful purchase or sale can increase simply choosing a better agent. The secret is that All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest.
