If you’re not getting results and you’re not happy with your agent, maybe it’s time to hire a new one (see Part 2 of this book) and finally get your house off the market and SOLD.
PRICING YOUR HOUSE BETTER
Price is obviously a major area of contention. Pricing your home can be tricky. Overpricing is usually the number-one reason a home didn’t sell. Assuming your neighborhood or area has houses with similar features on the market for a lower price, buyers will naturally buy those properties first. The price of your property should be competitively priced with other similar houses. Of course, even seemingly “identical” homes aren’t exactly the same—in fact, no two homes are exactly the same. So, thinking about something unique your home has to offer (Part 1 of this book), the pricing needs to take this into account. Researching how to price your home appropriately can yield some good results and tips, but the data is limited. Completing this process accurately and effectively might require a good real estate agent who can help you establish the best price based on the competition and other factors. The point is, you can price your home yourself, with expert opinions from others (including buyers—why they’re saying “no”—agents, and appraisers), but you’re better off hiring your own Realtor® to do the tough work for you—the time and energy spent alone is worth it! A good real estate agent will be able to help you determine why your home isn’t selling and if the price is to blame. They will ensure you go forward in asking a fair asking price for your property.
