Expired Listing Expert


If you are a homeowner who has been stuck with a listing that hasn’t sold, and your contract has expired, you are a victim of an expired listing.

An expired listing is a technical term given for a property that failed to sell through the MLS. It is essentially a property that did not receive a purchase agreement during its term or contract with a realtor and is therefore no longer active in the MLS.

Although you may be experiencing a considerable amount of frustration over your unsold home, know that it typically comes down to one or two reasons. Your home did not likely sell because of either: (a) price or (b) exposure.

Price

If your home did not sell, chances are you are dealing with a home that is overpriced. However unpleasant it may be to find that your home is not worth as much as you thought it was, it is important to remain reasonable and realistic when it comes to an expired listing.

An important part of the pricing strategy developed between you and your real estate agent is to take a good look at comparable sales in your area. In short, you and your real estate agent should work together to review the area’s sales and listings over the last 12 months so you can understand the market conditions and for what price other homes in the area are selling.

If you fail to identify the conditions of the local real estate market, or if your real estate agent failed to perform his job of identifying the comparables in the area, then you have missed the mark when it comes to selling your home.

Exposure

Many times a homes fail to sell because they weren’t given enough exposure by the listing agent. It is important to pay close attention to your agent’s marketing efforts so you can be sure your property is receiving as much exposure as possible. It is vital, particularly in a buyer’s market, to market a home effectively so it will be noticed by other buyers, as well as other realtors.

Your agent may be limited to marketing because of a lack of marketing tools within the real estate company. If the real estate company does not have successful marketing tools in place then your home could be missing out on vital exposure – the exposure you need to get your home sold!
