hiMary, You are free to relist your property midnight of the expiration date. Terry K 718-614-3167 cell

You can relist as soon as you are ready, just check your commission agreement to see if your realtor tied you to a commission after expiration of the contract. In this market you want to relist asap as the longer you wait the more money you stand to lose.

Mary
Your profile says that you are a home buyer.

Assuming that you area home seller (and maybe a buyer too), as the seller you have a couple of options:

If your home is not selling I do not recommend waiting until the listing agreement expires. When you hire a Realtor to sell your home, and it does not sell, the chances are that other homes have sold since your home hit the market.

Rather than waiting and doing nothing, I would sugges
1. Talking with your current Realtor and asking them for a list of homes that have, since your home was listed,
-come on the market
- lowered their price
-entered escrow
- sold
-expired

Then ask them why your home has not sold and what it will take to get it sold. Then I'd give them two weeks to sell it. if they cannot sell it in two weeks or present a plan to you that you believe will work then simply tell them that you hired them to do a job, it's not getting done, now you need to hire someone else.

You, as the owner, can contact other Realtors even while your home is on the market and ask for their advice. Realtors are not permitted by the Code of Ethics to contact you.

Then your next step is to ask a couple of Realtors what it will take to get your home sold for top dollar. There are logical reasons why your home did not sell. You need to find out why, correct those issues, and get it sold.

Good luck!

Not at all. If you can relist right away since you might miss the buyer as it is off the market. I have sold over 70 houses that other brokers were unable and surprisingly enough have received offers in the first 3 weeks on the properties that are relisted right away....might be coincidence....

If the listing is expired, you can relist any time after that. I would recommend that you interview several other agents before selecting a new one. Find out what their marketing strategy is. It's more important to have a good action plan rather than someone who says I'm so and so and I'm the number one agent around. It's amazing how many number 1's there are. Agents who charge little or no commission are also not the way to go. You get what you pay for. My office is in Suffolk County so if you're interested in what we may have to offer, please give me a call or send me an email. Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Mary,

As the owner you control the destiny of your home and can relist as soon as the listing expires with any agent you choose.

Good luck

Hi Mary,
There is no waiting time once the listing contract expires. You have freedom to choose any real estate agent/company to list/sell your home...Good Luck....

Mary, I also live in Huntington and can speak locally. If your listing agreement has expired, it expired at midnight on the date listed in the papers. You can hire another REaltor at one minute after midnight.

If you need any assistance, it would be my pleasure to provide it. Contact me at Gail@GailGladstone.com for any further local information.

Mary,

There is no waiting time requirement after the expiration. In choosing your next agent, the blog attached to the link below might be of some help. Good luck.
