A home not selling when listed can be the source of major stress and frustration. There are a number of reasons it may not have sold. Read my Slideshare for some reasons why your home may not have sold the first time around. Continue onto my blog at http://cincinkyrealestate.com for more discussion and feel free to give me a call to talk about the issues you may have faced when your home did not sell.
3. 1. Marketing Lacking?
Poor pictures?
Only advertising involves MLS and a yard sign?
No video or panorama pictures?
Little Internet exposure? I will only
use this sign
to sell your
house.
4. 1. Marketing impact!
Require great pictures!
Ask your agent what sorts of marketing do
they do!
Ask about their social media presence!
Ask about their Internet strategies for
marketing your home!
5. 2. Did you price too
high?
Pricing above the market means your house
will sit longer than it should.
Did your agent give you a good Comparative
Market Analysis (CMA) to help narrow in on a
price?
6. 2. Proper pricing will
help your home sell.
Correct pricing means you will get interested
buyers ready to make an offer.

others houses are selling for in your area.

show ready?
Did you give your house a fresh coat of paint?
Clean carpets make buyers feel comfortable
about wanting to move there.
Did you spruce up your yard to add curb
appeal?

8. 3. A show ready is
inviting to the buyers.
Fresh paint, clean carpets, updated features
means a buyer can move into your home and
not have to worry about much.
Front yard curb appeal draws people in.

available for buyers to come and
see?
Your home needs to be kept in tip top shape at
all times while on the market.
Clean up to remove odors .
Make sure everyone is out of the house when
buyers are coming through.
Be flexible in allowing buyers to come through
your hose.

Were you prompt in responding to questions
from your agent?

showings?

timely fashion when needed?

reasons so you can work better the next time
your house is back on the market.
