West Chester & Liberty Township OH Real Estate: The Top Reasons Your Home Didn’t Sell

December 29, 2010 by Eric Lowry Leave a Comment

So your home was listed for sale and didn’t sell.  No doubt you have tried to figure out why.  Here are the top reasons that your home didn’t sell when you had it on the market listed for sale:

Reason #1:  Your home is not staged! 

As I have discussed in previous articles, preparing your home for sale is critical.  In today’s real estate market hiring a professional stager is the surest step to success you can take.  We have come to believe that staging a home for sale is so important that when you list your home for sale with the Lowry Team by January 31st, 2011 we’ll include a staging consultation at no additional cost to you.

Reason #2:  Your home is not updated!

What does your home is not updated mean exactly?  While this can be a little subjective, it means your home is freshly painted in modern, neutral colors, you have clean, newer, neutral carpet, stainless steel appliances, newer light fixtures and newer bath fixtures to start.

Reason #3:  Your home is difficult to show!

What is difficult to show?  If an agent is showing homes in West Chester, Liberty Township, Beckett Ridge and they call to set an appointment on your home, is the process quick and easy? Or is the agent told that they can only show your home on weekends or only after 5:00pm during the week.  Can your home only be shown when you have time to run home and get the pets out of the house or clean the litter box?  The only acceptable showing instructions that you should have, are that your home can be shown with very short notice, any time or day of the week.  You cannot afford to miss a single showing.  And by the way, please don’t suggest the agent come on a different day because it would be better for you.  They aren’t coming back.

Reason #4:  You have the wrong real estate agent!

Picking the right real estate agent is critical to your success in selling your home.  You are relying on your agent to provide the very best pricing strategies.  You are depending on your real estate agent to have the very best, cutting edge marketing plan.  You are depending on your real estate agent to be sure that you have the very best photos of your home taken, to interpret the feedback from showings and to be available when it matters most.  You are depending on your real estate agent to be able to negotiate the very best possible terms in the offer to purchase for you.  Be sure that you have the right West Chester & Liberty Township real estate agent representing you in the sale of your home!
