Update House For Sale-Three Years Later

As I was leaving this morning for work I noticed the house on the corner had a new for sale sign up.  This would make listing agent number three.

Three different companies had taken that over priced listing. It’s been a year and a half and still no sale!

Did the seller really believe that if they changed the real estate sign their property would have a better shot at selling?

Do you think these agents really believe they had a shot at selling it with this property listed at 2004’s prices?

Are people so desperate for business that they would do this to a seller 3 different times?

The same seller and 3 different Realtors.

Why do professionals continue to make the same mistakes?

Walk away…just walk away!  What’s it going to take?   You can read the entire post here.

The point of the post really isn’t the post itself..its to point out this darn house has continually stayed on the market with very brief periods of being off the market..more than likely in search of another agent!

I lost track of the agents who have listed this house but I believe it is now real estate company #7.

A quick real estate training tip and reminder:

There is a price for everything!  There is a reason why this house has never sold!    It will sell if the price is right and easy to show and don’t forget to refresh the photos and information in your mls, your website,  flyers and brochures.

Sometimes all it takes is a tiny bit of magic..dusting off an old listing giving it new appeal so when the buyer comes along…to them it will feel like home!

Not sure why this house has not sold but I know one thing…if you cannot sell it…don’t!

Don’t be REALTOR #8 unless you mean business!
