7 Reasons Why Your Home Didn't Sell

Did you know that, even in 'hot' markets, nearly 1 in 4 listings fail to sell during the first attempt?

Here are 7 things you can do to succeed on your 2nd try!

Most home buyers lack the imagination or vision required.  Help them by staging your home properly.  This will also help when taking proper photographs of your home.

Buyers often look inside your stove, closets, and behind shower curtains and drapes.  Have everything professionally cleaned before you list.

Fix any broken light switches, door handles and paint chips.  Replace anything thats broken or worn (within reason).

Buyers want to see your home with their agent....not with you!  Build trust and confidence...be out of the home during the showing.

Did your last agent use his Blackberry to take the pics?  Make sure your next agent hires a professional photographer.  Your home deserves it.

Did your last agent disappear after your signed the contract?  Make sure to hire an agent who markets your home everywhere.

The #1 reasons for homes failing to sell: unrealistic pricing.  Take a closer look at the market, and at comparable properties.  Set realistic expectations.
