Consider offering incentives! The lure of the prize may be the catalyst for the sale.
Good Luck!

BRKBKS- You sound disheartened and I don't blame you. The key to selling in this market...you need to develop a competitive edge...make the home stand out among the competition. If the home shows well, then you need to price it aggressively and offer incentives. Entice the buyer to buy!
Most Realtors #1 SOLUTION: REDUCE THE PRICE.
But what they don't tell you is that when you reduce your price by $10,000 it lowers a potential Buyer's monthly payment by only $53/month. That's not going to expand your pool of qualified Buyers or increase your market potential...is it?
Rather than lower your price we recommend that you price your home aggressively
+ offer financial incentives, Seller concessions.
This allows a Buyer Options.
He can use the money toward:
A.) Closing costs.
B.) Temporary Buydown (Lower interest rate and reduce payments dramatically for the first 2 or 3 years)
C.) Permanent Buydown (Bring the rate down to 4.75%/30 year fixed)
D.) Any combination of the above
SELLER DOES NOT HOLD FINANCING.

Joan- I am very sorry to hear about your career decision...
Only Kidding (LOL) Welcome!!!!
I have been involved in the Real Estate & Mortgage Industry since 1984.
It's just like many other commission-based industries...cut-throat.
And just like any other industry, it's made up of the Good, the Bad & the Ugly.
Decide from the onset that YOU will rise to the top.
To be a better Realtor is to be a better person.
Understand that people do not care how much you know.. until they know how much you care....
Just finished reading The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz...."a blend of ancient wisdom and modern day awareness". Good stuff to help you stay on track in whatever profession you choose.
Do yourself a favor: Don't try to dissect and perfect the industry...just go out and SELL!
Good Luck!
