No Plan. No Progress.
You listed your home. The photos were taken. The For Sale board went up. The property went live on the portals. And now... what? If you are feeling like your sale has stalled, and no one seems to be offering much in the way of ideas or direction, it might be time to ask a bigger question: Was there ever a plan?
Here is what you can do NOW! The expertise of our pride is here to guide you.
1. Listing a Property Is Not the Same as Selling One
Many sellers are surprised to learn how little some agents do beyond launching the property. Once the photos are uploaded and the price is agreed, the effort stops. The result? Viewings drop off, feedback is vague or inconsistent, and you are left wondering if anything is actually happening at all.
✅ What a Sale Needs:
A strong start is just the beginning.
A sale needs strategy, energy, and adaptability.
Without it, even the best homes lose momentum.
2. A Plan Isn’t Just a Price, It’s a Process
At Martyn Russell, we build a strategy before anything goes live. This is true forward thinking. That includes:
Pre launch previews to our buyer database.
Increasing exposure through targeted Facebook ads.
Working with sellers to understand what makes the home special.
Planning the rollout of photos, video, and portal content.
Agreeing when and how to adjust based on early feedback.
It is a process designed to attract attention and build demand, not just hope someone clicks.
✅ Our Strategic Difference:
Our “Heads Up” alerts reach serious buyers before launch.
Bespoke video tours help homes stand out.
Weekly check ins make sure we are always evolving the plan.
3. If Your Agent Doesn’t Have a Plan, You’re Allowed to Find One That Does
You are not locked into waiting forever. If you feel like your sale has no clear direction, we can help you review what has already been done and where the gaps are. Even if you are not ready to switch agents, we are happy to offer an honest second opinion.
✅ Regaining Control:
We will review your current listing, marketing, and messaging.
Give you clarity on what is missing and how to improve it.
And if you decide to switch, we will make the process smooth and simple.
Final Thoughts
Selling your home is one of the biggest moves you will make, and it deserves more than a passive “wait and see” approach. We take pride in delivering comprehensive, proactive support.
