properties—all with different advantages and challenges.
You want people to see your home and think “Wow! This is where I need to live.”
Presentation is everything, as you’ll see in another chapter.
#4. LACK OF SHOWINGS
Have you seen other homes and properties comparable to yours selling after a short time on the market, receiving the asking price or higher, yet yours remained on the market and expired? Why didn’t people look at your house? Why did nobody seem interested? A lack of showings could be an important indication. You need people to see your home—showings—to make the sale and seal the deal. Perhaps you didn’t use a professional real estate agency, while the successful home sellers did. Real estate agents worth their salt will get your home not only listed but seen! This can make all the difference. A professional might be just what you need. If they can get you more showings and a higher price, you won’t even worry about their commission. Today, people make purchases based on what they see online. They click on ads, review photos, compare prices, then decide to set up appointments to see a few of them. Professional agents will have an established internet presence and access to networks and information that you likely don’t. Online listings often come with access to a loan calculator. Potential buyers will check the price, use the loan calculator, and consider whether the offer is feasible.
