On Being an "Expiry"

How to evaluate your situation.
This is usually a very frustrating, disappointing and sometimes confusing experience, to have had your house on the market for 3 months or so and to not have sold. Where do you go from here?

There are just 2 questions to ask yourselves:
  • Have you been fair to your agent?
  • Has your agent been fair to you?
Have you been fair to your agent?
  • Did you heed your agent’s initial advice on pricing? If not, did you adjust your pricing in a timely manner, based on your agent’s advice.
  • Were you co-operative in allowing appointments for your home to be shown?
Has your agent been fair to you?
  • In retrospect, did your agent give you good advice on pricing before you listed?
  • Did your agent diligently fulfill his/her commitments to you around marketing your home?
  • Was your home presented in its best light- appealingly presented and accurately described?
Based on your answers to these questions you would give your agent another chance at a lower price, or interview several agents for the job, with your new insight!

"Because our homes are so important to our daily quality of life and  because  a sound real estate investment is key to a family's financial future, to me, helping  people buy and sell homes is a very big responsibility. It would be a privilege to help you"   Carol Jones
