As an experienced listing agent in the Spokane real estate market, I can tell you many things you can do that will keep your house from selling. I'd like to help you avoid them!

A good real estate agent won't let your home sit forever on the market. My job as a Spokane listing agent is to find buyers for my sellers, and I work hard to make that happen. When a house sits too long on the MLS, buyers and agents alike start wondering what's wrong with the home (or its sellers). A good listing agent will avoid that by working hard in any market to find viable offers and close a deal.

1. You could be asking too much

Sellers who ask more for their property than the market can support usually end up with their house on and off the market several times, wasting time and money for everyone involved. An experienced agent (that's me) can be trusted to get you the highest price possible in the market. Work with your Realtor® to price your home accurately for the current market conditions and you will have a much more pleasant home-selling experience.

2. You're selling your home "For Sale By Owner" (FSBO)

There are great tools and resources these days for DIY home sellers wanting to sell their own home, but the fact is, most homes don't get sold FSBO. FSBOs are notorious for staying a long time on the market, and usually end up with the demoralized owner taking a lowball offer, or finally listing with an agent.

I work extremely hard for my clients in order to get viable offers on my listings. I know what it takes to get the kind of exposure necessary to bring buyers to the table and close deals.

If you've been trying to go it alone as an FSBO, please give me a call to learn how I can get you the results you need: (509) 979-2535. 

3. You're not presenting your home well

Home staging is important. It's important to present your home in an attractive manner to your potential buyers, because first impressions are crucial for buyers, who have often seen a lot of similar homes, to remember your property at the end of the day. Home staging can make the difference between getting an offer or not, and it can even make a difference in whether you get your asking price or have to settle for less.

4. Your agent isn't marketing your property well enough

It's not enough for agents just to submit their homes to the local MLS anymore. Real estate is competitive, and requires marketing skills and specialized knowledge to get your home exposed to the maximum amount of buyers.

I will market your home tirelessly in print publications such as the real estate section of the local newspapers, and online media like Google and real estate portal websites to get your property the exposure it needs to get viable offers.

There are many other reasons your home may not be selling well. If you have been trying to sell your home FSBO, give me a call and I can offer my real estate marketing experience to your home selling experience.
