Real Estate Listings Expire Because….

As a real estate agent in Brevard County, Florida I rarely ever went after an expired real estate listing.  Why?

First of all, a real estate listing expires for one reason – the property did not sell! Not funny, ehh?  Most sellers will agree!

The real reason a listing has expired may be as a result of a single issue or, more often, a combination of several reasons.  Some of these may include...

1. Listing Period Abbreviated.  I know some real estate agents who take listings for 45 days. The seller is not obligated long term however the real estate agent usually comes back for an extension. 
2. Lack of a marketing plan.  It is all about exposure. If the price is right and the real estate agent uses the right tools, an offer should come in a reasonable time.  If the price is right yet the traffic is mission, think ineffective marketing! 
3. Priced incorrectly.  It does come down to price. Price must be consistent with the competition and property condition.

If your Viera or Suntree Florida listing is about to expire, ask me why.  I will gladly  tell you what I think. I am not going to bad mouth your real estate agent (after all, he or she could be your child...no you wouldn't!).

I have had listings that just did not work out. I loved my clients and respected them a great deal but things just did not click.  Sometimes that is the case with others.

Real Estate Blogs should be written by the Real Estate Agent

Real estate blogs are very popular sources of information for folks seeking information on purchasing a home. But, some of these blogs are scripted or "canned"prose.

My four real estate blogs are the real deal.

I have been offered opportunities to write for other real estate brokers in Brevard County, Florida. Sure I can make a little money but I would rather write my own material in my own style - lighthearted but factual!

When buying a home, there are no silly questions.

When buying a home there are no silly questions.

Buying a home is a major step in ones life.  Buying a home is a significant commitment as well as financial decision. 

In the above paragraph  I intentionally neglected to say buying a home is an investment because, although it can be, it is a home first!

Even if a buyer has previously purchased a home there will be questions.   

Your real estate agent should be able to advise as well as answer any questions you may have about the process.   Ask away....for there are no silly questions!

Is it sucking up or getting a real estate listing?

Is it sucking up or just doing whatever it takes to get the listing?

As I was browsing the business section of yesterday's Florida Today newspaper, I saw an article titled "Suck up to Your Boss Without Being Obvious. The title got my attention so I read the short article.

It pointed out some ways to not suck up such as the old "Is it me or are you getting younger by the day?" question. It did point out a couple of right ways as well...you know like team player stuff!

Anyway, it got me to thinking about listing appointments and real estate agents. Amazing what will trigger my mind!

I remember a real estate broker (not mine) once told me that when you first go into a prospect's house you want to compliment something. I guess it can be location, decor or something.

I was then advised the next thing you do is ask questions about the family, career, future plans, etc. I think it was called "showing an interest" in the person.

I have always tried to find something genuine and positive to say when I meet someone new or in a client prospect situation!

I never got any listings because I "sucked up." But I did get listings because I did tell it like it is...in a nice, compassionate, honest way!

As for me,. ..call me if you are looking for professional, honest and compassionate real estate services. I, and my associates, provide that..without the sucking up!

If you can smell it, you can’t sell it!

Unless it is high class perfume…OK, the cheap stuff will sell as well! But, when it comes to selling that house…it is a challenge!

Pet smells can be handled much more easily than 20 yeas of smoking. Many home seekers just skip the nicotine laden dwelling.

Preparing your home for the market is work – sometimes more work than selling it! After all the curb appeals touches, scrubbing, “fixing up” is finished, don’t forget the one thing that can turn a prospective buyer away as soon as they walk in the door – odors!

Because if you can smell it, you can’t sell it!
