Salt Lake Short Sale Wont Sell-Why?

By
Real Estate Agent with Group1 Real Estate, selling houses in Salt Lake City Utah

Today a West Jordan Home For Sale listing expired. Another Salt Lake Short Sale that wont sell.

Last week, three possible Salt Lake home buyers asked me, "is this West Jordan Home For Sale Or Not?"

It seems that the seller, or the listing agent, or both were making it so tough to even see this SLC short sale property that potential home buyers were absolutely turned off.

As one lady that was looking for a West Jordan Rambler put it, "if these sellers are this difficult in a market like this, I sure don't want to start any negotiations with them".

This is what I mean.

1. No for sale sign in yard or window.
2. Appointments to show to be scheduled w/ agent by e-mail. No phone calls.
3. Listing appointments 11:30 to 3:00 Mon. thru Friday.
No Exceptions.!!!
4. Absolutely no week end showings.
5. Exceptions were made last month. Showings Thursday only 11:30 to 3:00.
(the other restrictions worked so well).

Yesterday the home was pulled from the market. The listing expired.

This home was priced right, was well cared for and well located. It just wasn't easy to see.

If your a seller, this is a lesson for you: make your home easy to see.  

If your a Realtor, don't  let the home owner tell you how to sell their house.

You don't want potential home buyers asking, "is this West Jordan Home For Sale? or Not". Or, This Salt Lake Short Sale won't sell.   Why?  Who is your agent?
