I need help with more ideas on a home I have for sale?
Ok can any of you other agents out there please help me. I have a home listed I have done Realtor tours, They all say the price is perfect. I do Open House every weekend, it is all over the internet and the Real Estate books, I am even giving a bounus to the selling agent. It has benn on the Market for 49 days. My sellers are happy with everything but I would like to get it sold before the move in their new home in September. Any ideas would be greatly appriciated. Thank you.

Does the house show well? Maybe you need someone to go in there and do home staging. Talk to the sellers about doing special financing. Maybe instead of another price reduction they could offer no payments for 6 months or something like that. They’d need to work that out with a bank. What about a home warranty at no charge to the buyer?

Sounds like you’re doing everything right. The market in your area may be slow right now. Why not design an awesome flier for the open house so that potential clients will remember the highlights of the home? We do this with each resale home we market and it really works! Think about it – you show 20 houses to someone – in the end, can they really distinguish which one was which? With a flier or brochure, they can see the photos, measurements and features that will jog their memories and choose the best home for their needs!
I truly wish you well!!!

Two things to consider, 1 curb appeal,2nd neighbor appeal. Also try promoting the area in which the home is located,ie 2 miles from state park or only 20 mins to downtown yet country atmosphere. You get the idea. Good luck!

What has been the feedback from the potential BUYERS?
Agents love it, but how are you attracting buyers?
Ask your sellers if they would post property flyers about there home at their own offices, hair dressers, gym, etc.. Anyone they know that may help the home sell.
Sounds like you are just lacking exposure.
Also, see about moving the BONUS from the AGENT to the BUYER! Attract the buyer & they will find an agent if they need one. Just make it easy for the agents to sell (staging it, lots of info, etc..)
Most of all, just be patient! You know more than anyone that in this market, 49 days is still a young property around the country.
Our market is averaging above 120 days!
Good luck!! Happy Selling!

What feedback are you getting from showings and open houses? I’d work from that and try to rectify any issues that are recurring in the comments.
