Why You Shouldn’t Relist Your Home With the Same Agent

If you’re listing has expired, here’s what you should do instead of relisting with the same agent.

Have you had your home on the market for a long time or has it just expired after being listed for six months without selling?

If so, you shouldn’t relist with the same agent. I speak with a lot of sellers every day with canceled listings who wonder why they should relist their home if it didn’t sell the first time around. That’s a valid point—you shouldn’t do the same thing and expect a different result. This is why you should relist with a different agent.

I’ll price your home competitively and price it to make a great first impression.

For example, if it’s me who’s selling your home the next time around, there are three things I’ll do actively and aggressively to succeed where past agents failed:

1. I’ll price your home competitively and price it to make a great first impression. 
2. I’ll monitor the market on a weekly basis and report back to you honestly about what it has to say about your home compared to others that have recently sold or are still on the market. 
3. I’ll network with the agents in town, prospect for a minimum of four hours, and speak with a minimum of 44 people each and every day. 

Did your previous agent do these kinds of things? Probably not. Otherwise, your home would’ve sold by now.

If you have any questions about how I can get your home sold, give me a call or shoot me an email. I’d be happy to speak with you.
