Many of the homes that you see listed for sale will surprisingly never sell.
Below is a list of reasons why many listings do fail to sell.

• No Follow Up on Showings (FEEDBACK):  Often a simple problem that has turned a Buyer off can be easily rectified by the Seller and an acceptable offer may be negotiated.

• Agent is Hesitant to recommend Repairs and/or Improvements:  In order to maximize your sale proceeds, your home must show to its full potential. Many Buyers are turned away because of too many minor repairs that need to be completed (the minor ones that stick out most to buyers) and the buyer just can’t be bothered.

• Turning Away Short Notice Showings:  Surprisingly, these are the best prospects (often relocation clients), who are frequently looking at properties with an out of area agent and have not seen anything they like. Curb appeal alone can sell a home.  If they call and want to see your home right away, make every effort to let them through. Often relocation clients are limited in time and will buy on a dime. If they miss your home on that particular day, that might be the only opportunity you get.

• Failure to Determine an A, AA, or AAA buyer.  Your Agent must be able to determine when a Buyer is showing key signals that they are interested in purchasing that home.  As that opportunity may only occur once, it is important to seize it then and there, before the Buyer cools off.
