My name is Christina Asad Edwards and I am a Realtor with Real Living Realty as well as the Sales Masters Top Agent (2006 – 2007 and counting). My office is in nearby Centerville and I am very familiar with your area and many of the homes themselves.

You are in a great location! I would market the excellent shape of your property, the size of your home, as well as the community, and the price to potential Buyers. One of my specialties is marketing your home in an exciting, professional manner to attract the most qualified Buyers. Pictures help sell homes (especially on the Internet) so I stage your home, take eye appealing photos, and create a virtual tour that emphasizes your home's selling points and really make it stand out among the others!

Innovative marketing of your home is just one of the services I provide. As you are probably well aware, in order to ensure that your home sells as quickly as possible, it must be priced properly and prepared to show! I am glad to hear yours is in excellent condition! I will personally meet with you prior to any paperwork being signed to evaluate your home and give you my professional advice on anything else you could do to get your home ready and at what price. Prior to marketing your home, we will spend quite a bit of time discussing the best way to make your home a star in the eyes of BUYERS!

I know that you will receive MANY proposals from agents about your home, so please read this proposal completely BEFORE you decide. So, what do I offer that would make you want to work with me?

LEAD GENERATION - the systems I use to bring BUYERS to your home.
CONTRACT NEGOTIATION - My negotiation skills are strong because I do an enormous amount of research about your property and the market so that you can make informed decisions about the offers you receive. I conduct seminars for Buyers and Sellers on the art of negotiation.
PERSONAL SERVICE - I am available by email or mobile phone 24/7 (my personal number is listed below). I handle every aspect of your transaction personally and I DO NOT turn you over to an assistant!
WEALTH OF INFORMATION - I view over 1000 homes per month, so I know the inventory and I know what your competition is doing! I have seen many of the "pitfalls" that can occur and I have the experience to help you avoid them.

I hope you are satisfied that I am at least worth talking to (or emailing). I look forward to hearing from you. Please email or phone me and I will be happy to discuss your situation in a no pressure, professional manner!

Make every day count!

Excellent answers. Discuss this with Your Realtor.

Keith has great points. 3 reason for not selling; Price (takes into account the location), Condition, Marketing. Look at each, one is the problem. How is the Dayton Market doing? Ask your Realtor what the average days on the market (DOM) is for your class property in the area. Good luck!

Saroja
Thank you for your inquiry. A couple of suggestions:
1. I assume that your home is listed with a Realtor. According to the National Association of Realtor Code of Ethics we are not allowed to solicit your listing. YOU as the seller can call other Realtors, however we cannot contact you.

2. There are a number of basic steps that should have been covered with you BEFORE your property was put on the market:
A. Did you and your REALTOR discuss how long similar properties of size, condition, and price, took to sell?
B. Remember that Days On Market (DOM) varies. You know how when a property does not sell, the sign comes down. Then the new Realtor’s sign goes up? Let’s say the property was on the market for 60 days. Then the second Realtor has it on the market another 60 days. That is 120 total DOM. How long has your property been on the market? If the AVERAGE DOM is 120 days, and yours has been on the market 60, you might have nothing to worry about.
C. How many homes like yours have SOLD during the time yours has been on the market? If other homes are selling, why not yours?
3. After each showing, does your Realtor tell you what they agent and/or the buyers said about the home? I ask the agents for Feedback, and meet with my seller regularly to review market changes (new homes on the market, homes sold) and feedback. If there were comments, did you respond to them? Lower the price, fix up what was broken, etc.?
4. If the property has had showings, but now offers, assuming you have positive feedback, the property is probably over-priced.
5. If the property has no showings, then it’s probably over-priced.
6. Have your agent show your three to five properties that are competing against yours. Go look at them through the eyes of a buyer.
7. Depending upon the competition, your agent should be providing you with home staging advice (de-clutter, re-personalize, clean, clean, clean)

Lastly, if the agent is not performing ask to meet with his/her broker so you can get the agent some help. The Realtor works FOR the BROKER. The broker should be able to help. If they broker is not helpful, then you may need to consider changing brokerages (in some cases called “firing your broker”). Hopefully you will not have to do that.

Regarding the rental property idea, I’ve been there, done that. I strongly urge you to discuss your plans with a CPA or tax professional BEFORE you do anything. There are income tax consequences that occur when you CONVERT residential property to INCOME property.

Good luck!

Saroja, I do not know what you mean by a "quick" sale but if your house gets no offers in a few weeks, I would wonder about the price. I would get a formal appraisal (not somebody's opinion of how much the house should sell for) and an inspection. This information should tell you where you stand in regard to price and the impression your house makes on potential buyers. Whether you attempt to sell or rent, I would also try to assess the impression that your house makes on potential buyers or renters by having them fill out a questionnaire. We all have a tendency to appreciate our house more than others and have "blind spots" when it comes to our property, its pros and cons. Good luck!

I've spoken with a handful of home buyers and sellers. they seem really value the references their friends provide to real estate professionals.
