5 Things You Can Do if Your House Won’t Sell

August 12, 2019 by Karen Baker 1 Comment

No one likes to sit on the market any longer than they have to but if your property is just not getting the attention you would like, there are some things to do that could change the effects. Of course, it really does depend on the market. If you’ve priced it correctly in the market can support it, there may be other issues involved. Here are five things to do if you cannot sell your property.5 Things You Can Do if Your House Won't Sell

#1. Make sure your home offers what buyers want.

Does your home draw buyers in from the curb appeal? Have you taken professional photographs? Have you staged the home, de-cluttered, and cleaned? Does the home need a facelift? Does the curb appeal make buyers want to see the inside? Is the home vacant? If so, it may be time to get a professional stager.

#2. Ask about a guaranteed purchase program.

If you are moving based on job relocation, your employer may help with a guaranteed purchase program. This means that the program will buy your home if you can’t sell within a certain amount of time This is an unusual program but it’s definitely worth looking into.

#3. Sell to a real estate investment firm.

There are a lot of investors that will buy your home as-is with cash. However, they will usually give you much less than it’s really worth but it could save you a lot of time and headaches.

#4. Consider renting it out.

Instead of selling, your property could generate cash flow while you wait for the market to turn around. Talk to your real estate agent because this may or may not be a good idea for you depending on the current market. If you could get a short-term lease for six months, the market may be better by then.

#5. Consider new real estate agents.

Agents typically specialize in a lot of different types of properties but maybe you have an amateur agent, someone that is too new to understand the market and how to price your home. It may be time to fire your agent and look for another.

At Sunset Beach and Beyond, we have specialized in buyers for decades and recently partnered with a well-established and experienced listing and selling agency. Whether you are buying or selling we have the agents for you. Every home is different so pricing it correctly from the beginning and gauging the market is really the key to getting your home sold fast.

“Life will lead you to where you belong. Five years ago life led me to meeting Karen Baker at an Open House. Our relationship continues as Karen and her husband Frank have been outstanding not only in helping my husband and I find the right retirement relocation home, but we have watched their commitment in helping many others find their homes. She and Frank treat every client as if they are the only ones that exist. They provide thorough research of areas and homes of interest and present you with the options. They are not your typical hard sell, must-buy-now realtors. They are here to help you find your next home?. You won’t go wrong with the Bakers!

“The Bakers treated us like family during our whirlwind weekend of looking at houses. Prior to our on-site visit to Sunset Beach they created a portal and populated it with properties that met our ever-evolving criteria. By time we arrived we had a good feel for what we could afford and what was available that met our criteria. The Bakers, especially Karen, were able to make sense of what we thought we were looking for and eventually matched us with a house that we ended up purchasing — Karen called it the “This is it” house and she was right. We are loving our 2nd home and appreciate how painless Karen and Frank made the process. All the paperwork was done seamlessly and quickly and the closing went off without a hitch. The Bakers do not believe in the hard sell — they gave us the knowledge we needed and the guidance we needed to make our dream a reality.”

Amy and I have bought and sold four properties in the past twelve years. Both of you are the best realtors we have ever dealt with. Amy and I both felt we could trust you to look out for our interest. The level of service you provided was outstanding, from taking the trash out, helping the buyer with inspecting the irrigation system, dealing with our tenants, always being there if we needed to ask a question, providing constant updates on the market and always keeping us informed on the sale of our house. I think your next venture should be training other realtors, because both of you have mastered the art of providing excellent service. I will be sure to recommend the Frank and Karen team to anybody looking for a trust worthy, knowledgeable and top performing realtor. It was a pleasure working with both of you.”
