UNDERSTAND WHY HOMES DON'T SELL

Homes that do not sell for extended periods of time are usually priced too high. Strategic pricing will always be the top reason homes sell successfully.

Here is a list of other common reasons that homes do not sell:

• The home is too cluttered. Piles and stacks of stuff discourage buyers. • The home interior is worn and/or dated. • The home's mechanical systems are not updated and in good working condition • The homeowner is not flexible with showings. Plan ahead to ensure kids, pets and you are ready to show at any time. • The home is located in an abandoned development. The housing crash of 2008 left many houses empty in many neighborhoods. • The home does not adequate online presence.
