Good morning Mike. I think this is thoughtful and on the money. Well done.

Your bulleted points cover nearly all reasons a home isn't selling, Mike!  It is important for sellers to understand them.

CONGRATULATIONS Mike, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Club group!  

Hi Mike:

I think you hit all the major reasons for homes not selling. Sellers have more control over some things  than others!

I believe, L3 is the most important element in real estate. Regardless, when a property is in a desirable location, the property will sell and usually sells fast and most times if priced correctly will sell more than the listing price.

Informing the sellers about the importance of L3 and your marketing strategies to overcome its effect should provide a sensible outcome of expectations and ensure the property is sold in a reasonable amount of time.

Morning Mike.

It sounds like you've done your research, or in your case, your history.  

Good morning Mike - all of these reasons are spot on.  It is better to get everything right before it comes on the market.

Agree with all your points.  Every Seller needs to be reminded before listing their property.

Arming your sellers with this info should keep them in check.  Itis better to walk away than to have a listing to expire for any of your reasoning.  

Great Post.  I enjoyed reading it.

Excellent post as always.  Smart advice to get the sellers to talk about price as they all have something in mind.  Sometimes it's like pulling teeth as they want to know what our price might be.  I've seen that frustrated look before!

Great question that a seller might ask.

Trying to keep this question from coming up takes place at the listing presentation. The agent needs to know the market well and be able to present that information to the seller in such a way that they can see what adjustments to price/condition of property before it is listed.

Your points were on point.
