Your Home Should Have Sold by Heather Hilder on March 6, 2019 “Selling your Home?” Should Have Sold We are often asked to look at properties that really should have sold, but haven’t. We understand the Vendors’ disappointment when their experience of the sales process has fallen short of their expectations. There are solutions to this predicament, but doing nothing is not the right thing to do. If you believe your home should have sold, read on. This disappointment can sometimes be the result of simply not knowing where you stand. We find that enthusiasm and good communication must be maintained throughout the sale if you are to enjoy peace of mind. Of course a steady flow of buyers also helps! Why hasn’t my home sold? So if you find yourself with a property that appears to be sticking, you might like to ask yourself the following questions: • Is my agent as enthusiastic as the day he/she listed my property? • Do they keep me regularly updated with constructive feedback immediately following a viewing? • Do they phone me, or do I have to chase them? • Do they accompany viewings to make sure they are maximising buyer contact and feedback opportunities? • Do they keep me informed of what is available and actually selling in the area? • Have they provided me with practical marketing advice in terms of how to present my property at its best? • Do they regularly advertise properties similar to my own in order to attract a variety of buyers? • Do I feel like a valued customer with an important property? • Is my agent blaming a slower market, or taking responsibility? If the above rings any bells, and you honestly believe your home should have sold, it might be worth rethinking your sales strategy . It may need a refreshing kick start before your property goes stale on the market. Above all, a demotivated seller is hardly likely to give the right impression when trying to impress motivated buyers!
