Finally, The Truth About Why Your Home Didn t Sell and Your Mad As Heck Do you know the difference between passive selling and active marketing? Until you do, you won t even have a chance of selling in today's market Dear Home Seller, Based on information obtained from the Multiple Listing Service, it has come to the attention of hundreds of real estate agents that your home is no longer available for sale, and your phone is probably ringing off the hook with calls from agents who promise to do a better job and have the formula to get your home sold if you only give them a chance. And I bet you re asking yourself... Where were all these agents 90 days ago? It s a fair question. Unfortunately, the answer isn t all that simple. The most common answer you ll hear is your price is too high. And while that is sometimes the case, it is only one of many possible reasons which may be responsible for your home not selling during its original listing period. You may feel, deep down, that a lot more could have been done... Let me just say this: I am absolutely certain that your agent did everything he or she knew to do in order to get your home sold. Chances are they did their level best. Would it surprise you to learn it may not be the agent s fault at all? But it s certainly not your fault either, is it? Here s what I mean. Things have changed and so have the strategies used in marketing real estate. Do you know the difference between passive selling and active, innovative marketing? Passive selling is what we used to do in real estate. Put up a sign, place the property on the Multiple Listing Service and wait for the Buyer to come to us. And if that didn t work we might hold an Open House or place an ad in the newspaper. Sound familiar?
These methods simply are not enough in todays marketplace. I ll bet that no one knows that better than you at this point. Now, as for active, innovative marketing, in a nutshell this is the type of marketing that is working. It requires you or your agent to actively and aggressively seek out, hunt down and draw out the most likely buyer for your home. The targeted buyer if you will. The targeted buyer (which is always the right buyer) will pay the most money for your home. Why? Because they re the one person that appreciates and is looking for what you were when you bought. They would have probably made the same improvements you did. Therefore everything you ve done to the home has value to them. Makes a lot of sense doesn t it? So, passive selling is waiting and hoping. Active marketing on the other hand is the exact opposite. It is making things happen by taking action that produces results. After all, results are the only things that count. So the question becomes how in the heck do we make things happen? Well, to start with you need to do things alot different.

It only takes a few minutes, doesn t cost you a dime, and we promise to keep our time together short, factual, and very, very informative. Maybe even entertaining! (No guarantees on that one!) Speaking of guarantees... let me ask you: Did your previous agent offer you a guarantee? Not that your home would sell - that s impossible - but, rather, in the event you were not absolutely, 100% satisfied with their service, with them actually doing everything they promised they would do - did they offer you a guarantee that if you weren t satisfied, for whatever reason, you could cancel the listing agreement? No if s, and s or but s about it? We DON T sign a long-term agreement and we can explain to you how our service couldn't not cost you a dime in some cases. You re in control. Fair enough?
