Time to face the ugly monster in the room — the truth. Let’s face it, you have been on the market six or more months and you have not sold. There are many reasons why you home has not sold, and it will always come back to price, condition and location.
In today’s market, everything boils down to price. Buyers will not pay more for a home unless they see value. Today in most of Western New York, if you home doesn’t sell in the first 30 days; it is directly related to the price. Plain and simple, you priced your Buffalo home incorrectly for the current market conditions. There are two things you can do, correct what may be wrong or adjust the price of the home.
The only reason there are multiple offers on a home, it is because it has something of value to the current group of home buyers. Trust me, I have had many listings expire without selling. I am not about to make any of those mistakes again. You probably have heard one or more of the following:
- The buyer found another Buffalo home they put an offer on
- The buyer wanted …
- The market is slow, have patience
- Your home needed too many updates for the buyer
Why use myself instead of your current Buffalo Realtor®? What makes me different from the rest of the Real Estate professionals that are out there?
- I am a full time agent. Many times you will encounter an agent that does this on the side, doesn’t market to attract buyers or poorly showcases a community. I have dedicated myself to being the best at helping buyers and seller with their real estate needs.
- My Internet presence. I have 7-10 new buyers registering on my site every day! I have thousands a page views a day. I have invested in a wide variety of websites that are out there to showcase your home. I do not stop there, I write to attract buyers too! For that I use a variety of non-traditional methods to market your home for sale in addition to the traditional. I am findable on Google throughout the Internet. Sites like:
- Facebook, LinkedIn & Twitter
- Zillow, Trulia Voices and the list goes on…
- My experience. I have been working in WNY since 2007, prior to Real Estate; I was a Technology trainer, database expert and have lived in the Metro NYC area, Marco Island and Orlando Florida markets. I have worked for such companies as Radio City Music Hall, Nabsico Foods, Reed Reference Publishing, Key Bank and as an independent consultant in the Insurance & Financial Industries. I have worked the luxury Florida real estate market, I understand how to best market any home for sale. I know how to not only market on the Internet, but working within the community. I blend both old and new methods with ease.
- My team of professionals. The Buyer Agents that I work with have a variety of experience and are some of the most progressive Realtors in Western New York. I utilize professional showing service to schedule appointments, and virtual assistants to handle many marketing tasks.
Enough about me, you just had a listing expire with your Buffalo Realtor®, you are understandably frustrated.
You love your home, it has been wonderful home for you, but why is it that nobody has purchased it? There are many reasons why a home has not sold. It might not be your home, but the marketing of it that is the problem.
Most likely at this point you have lost confidence in your current Buffalo Realtor® because of your expired listing. You probably are searching to find the right person to sell you Buffalo home. I am here to help you get your home sold. We should really talk about how your home was marketed and how I can make a difference.
But other homes have SOLD!
True, other homes have sold since you listed your home for sale. They sold because the home seller priced their home in line with other homes on the market.
Most likely you have heard about the shortage of homes for sale and homes selling in a matter of days with multiple offers. If this hasn’t happened to you, then you need to seriously look at the condition of your home, how it is priced compared to what has sold in the past 3 months, and how the current inventory of active homes for sale is priced.
I would love to sit down with you and go over my marketing plan and how I can make a difference in the selling of your home for sale. Together we can achieve your Real Estate goals. Call me today at (716) 650-0051 for a free, no obligation comparative market analysis of your Buffalo Area home.
