I am not a big complainer about the slower market, in fact, things have never been better for my business. I am not the type that stares at the phone and wonders why it doesn't ring. My business partner and I have been able to move a large number of listings in this challenging market through proper pricing, adequate preparation, and aggressive marketing. For the most part, our strategies are working...this makes it all the more frustrating when we can't move a particular property. Why do strategies work in some places and not others?
We have a wonderful listing in a beautiful, highly sought after neighborhood, a stone's throw from our office in Baltimore City's Mt. Vernon neighborhood. We've had an huge number of showings, and the feedback is always stellar. The owners really prepared the property well, priced it right, and are incredibly flexible about showings (even with a newborn and a two year old!). Our website gets about 7500+ unique visitors per month looking at this property, yet nobody has been able to pull the trigger.
Normally, I would trust that this is just going to take a little time...we're doing everything right, and a buyer is truly around the corner. Unfortunately, the sellers NEED to move as with their newborn they have outgrown the place, and they have already located the property that they would like to buy. Short of advising them to have a firesale, or staging a hunger strike until we get it sold, I just don't know what to do to get this listing any more attention.
My bag of tricks is nearing empty...if there any any ACTIVERAINERS out there who happen to be looking for a STUNNING two bedroom condo in Mt. Vernon at a great price, give me a call...and bring me a sandwich.
