Expired, Unsold Real Estate Listings Can Be Revived With The Right Plan “IF”
Just because a real estate listing is expired, unsold or withdrawn from the market, doesn’t mean that the
real estate sale is dead and gone forever. Far from it.
We can revive Expired, Withdrawn, Unsold Listings with the Right Marketing Plan which includes the right listing price.
Often what’s needed is a new, fresh approach. Because if you keep doing the same thing you’ve always done, you will get the same results you’ve always gotten.
Effective Real Estate Marketing has changed dramatically in a short period of time. And like all rapid changes, some learn new skills and keep up with the changes and some do not.
First, the Realtor® is responsible for preparing the Comparative Market analysis, CMA to help Seller decide on the best Listing Price. Second, the Realtor® is responsible for the design and implementation of Read the rest of this entry »

Where’s The Real Estate Party With The “Sold” Presents?
Having a real estate listing expire it’s listing contract without being sold is a little like giving a party with no food, music 
or presents. Inviting all of your friends to come and celebrate with you but then telling them to come back later for the real fun.
Everyone arrives at the party with great anticipation of enjoying the company of the guests, good conversation, food and music only to have the host announce, “please come back next month when we will have the “real party” with the decorations, the food, drinks, dancing and presents!
Would you go back? Probably not. But it happens every day in my real estate market of the Chester County Pennsylvania Main Line area when listings expire without selling. And it’s mostly avoidable.
A listing that expires it’s listing contract unsold is an enormously painful event for both the Seller and the Listing Agent. The number of expired listings is growing. So what can be done? Read the rest of this entry »

Real Estate One Stop Shopping, Amazon, and the Supermarket?
What do Real Estate One Stop Shopping Services have to do with the Supermarket, Amazon or the Mall?

Here in Chester County and the Main Line area my Buyers and Sellers are busy, busy, busy. They’re either on the fast track at home or at work or both. Time is the one commodity that none of us has enough of. That’s why when the National Association of Realtors ran a Harris poll, One Stop Shopping Real Estate Services came up with a resounding YES vote.
Everyone loves one stop shopping. At the Supermarket these days, there’s probably a snack bar for a little breakfast or lunch while you shop. You can pick up a snow shovel, a prescription, or buy a pot of Mums for the front porch. My favorite Amazon shopping offers great choices, service and prices. Prudential Fox Roach Realtors together with the affiliated services of The Trident Group even offers a guarantee on Settlement Services!

Days On Market (DOM)-The “Property Marketing Period” (PMP) ~ A Realtors® Tale of Two Hats!
How long has this house been on the market?
The answer to this question now has two parts, the DOM and the “PMP” “Property Marketing Period”. As a Realtor®, I often wear two hats. I wear a Sellers Agent Hat and a Buyers Agent Hat for my Main Line Chester County clients. Meaning I represent Sellers in Listing their property or I represent Buyers in purchasing, as an Accredited Buyers Agent. Buyers and Sellers generally look at the question of Days On The Market differently.
Our Multiple Listing Service for the Tri-County Delaware Valley area has instituted a new Property Marketing Period (PMP) in order to show the true Days On The Market. Read the rest of this entry »

Main Line Chester County Home Sellers Tip – 2 Words To Get SOLD? ~ “Bye, Bye!”
In my Consulting Role with Main Line Chester County Home Sellers, I suggest that my Sellers take the dog for a walk or have a cup of coffee with the neighbors and not be home for their property showings. Despite that fact that some Sellers and Buyers bond right away, the risks to the sale are much greater than the rewards when the Sellers are present during property showings.
Why do Sellers remain home during property showings? Could be the Listing Agent hasn’t explained the risks. Also, Sellers are naturally curious, especially if it’s a second showing. With increasing number of days on market, some Sellers may be tempted to “help” the Buyer’s Agent get their home sold.
But, in my consulting role as a Buyers Agent I have listened as Sellers gave my Buyers an exact reason NOT to buy their home, and because Read the rest of this entry »
