How We Help
Find out how we help you move sell your property in a competitive market!
Congratulations on deciding to sell your home in what is the strongest sellers’ market in over a decade. With property values up by at least 17% compared to March 2020, you’re in a favorable position. However, if your home hasn’t sold yet despite high demand and low supply, there are a few potential reasons:
Your Asking Price is Too High: Even in a booming market, an overestimated price can deter buyers. Verify who set the price—was it your agent’s suggestion, or did you set it above their valuation? Consult with your agent to reassess your home’s value in the current market.
Marketing Issues: If the price isn’t the problem, then inadequate marketing might be to blame. Ensure that your home’s online listing, images, description, and brochure effectively showcase its true value and appeal to the right buyers.
Agent Performance: Consider whether your agent is effectively promoting your property. If both you and your agent are confident in the pricing and marketing strategy, reassess your agent’s efforts to ensure they are actively working to close the sale.
Identify which of these factors might be hindering your sale and address them to improve your chances of a successful transaction.
If you’re consistently getting a steady flow of qualified buyers viewing your home—ideally at least two a week—but aren’t receiving any acceptable offers, consider whether your agent is effectively addressing buyer objections. It’s crucial that the agent showing your home is knowledgeable and skilled. They should be able to not only highlight the property’s key features but also inspire potential buyers to envision themselves living there.

Examine your property’s images and online advert critically. Ask yourself if they genuinely entice potential buyers to schedule a viewing. As the owner, it can be hard to remain objective, so consider seeking honest feedback from a trusted friend who is familiar with the property.
If any of the previous issues apply to your situation, it’s crucial to take action—and do so promptly.
We’re currently experiencing a significant increase in Home Consultation requests from new sellers seeking advice to make the most of this strong market. This influx means that in the coming weeks and months, there will be a notable rise in new properties entering the market.
This could pose a risk to your sale. You don’t want your home to become ‘old stock,’ as buyers are generally drawn to the newest listings first. Plus, no one wants to be left with a property that seems undesirable. Act now to ensure your home stands out and remains competitive in the market
To secure an offer on your home before the market situation potentially worsens, consider these three ways we can assist you:
To help you secure an offer on your home before the market conditions change, we can assist you in three key ways:
Evaluate Your Asking Price: We can review your asking price and provide an honest assessment of its achievability. Our perspective tends to be more optimistic than most agents, so if we believe your price is too high, it’s worth considering.
Enhance Your Property Marketing: We can demonstrate what top-notch property marketing looks like and compare it to your current approach. This will help identify any areas for improvement.
Address Buyer Objections: We can provide insights into the objections potential buyers have regarding your home (based on our deep understanding of our buyers). This includes creating a ‘but list’ to highlight and address the issues that need resolving to make your property more appealing.
Three simple (but not necessarily easy) steps that could be the difference between you selling your property in the best market in a decade, and staying stuck, unable to move on.
