A Quick Word If You're Still on the Market...

A Quick Word If You're Still on the Market...

I get it. It’s frustrating.

If you’re reading this and your home is still on the market with little movement - I get it. It’s frustrating. It’s draining. And it’s not what you were promised.

This isn’t about pointing fingers. It’s about getting results. So let me offer a quick word of advice.

1. You Deserve More Than Just Photos and a Floor Plan
If your agent listed your home and then went quiet, that’s not a strategy - that’s hope. You need marketing that actually works.

✅ What I’d Do Differently:
Video tours with voiceover to bring the story of your home to life
Drone work to show setting and scale
Social content to drive attention before portal traffic kicks in

2. Weekly Check-Ins Are Non-Negotiable
I speak with my sellers weekly. Whether there’s a viewing or not. Because momentum matters - and silence isn’t a strategy.

✅ Why It Matters:
Keeps you in control
Ensures your listing is always being worked
Helps refine the plan with real-time feedback

3. If You're Playing the Waiting Game, It’s Time to Change the Rules
Waiting for a buyer isn’t a strategy. Creating interest is. Campaigning with intent is. Generating urgency is.

✅ Here’s What Often Changes When We Step In:
New momentum and a better chance of capturing fresh interest
Stronger messaging to the right buyers
A clear game plan built around momentum

4. Ready to Regain Control?
If your gut is telling you something’s off, trust it. A switch might just be the move that finally gets your home sold.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can you step in if I’m already with another agent?
We’ll take a look at your current agreement and see what options are available. Some contracts may have restrictions or notice periods, but we’ll give you a clear picture of your next steps.

2. Do I need new photos or a full re-launch?
Often yes - but not always. Sometimes a rewrite and a shift in focus is all it takes. We’ll advise honestly based on what’s working (or not).

3. Will changing agents hurt my chances?
If anything, it helps. Done right, it gives you a second launch and a fresh narrative - something buyers love.

4. How soon could we go live?
We move fast. In most cases, we can prep, plan, and go live with new energy inside a week.
