Need to move on and find a new realtor. Fine someone hungry. They work harder for your money.

I put an offer in on a house and the day I saw it. It turns out that the sellers had already accepted the offer from another buyer earlier in that day. That was enough for me to say frick that bitch I’m getting a new realtor.

Boss I'm selling by owner and have a couple that offered my neighbor a really good price.

They said they liked ours as much so we are optimistic.

Realtor waiting in the wings for 3% if it doesn't sell in a few weeks.

She was giving open houses 3x this week when I reached out to her.

Probably only 5-6 since we put it on the market, and I think only one of those was by her

If it’s only had 5 or 6 showings since it’s been on the market, it’s likely priced too high. If she didn’t talk you into listing at a lower price when you listed, then you may need a new realtor. If she told you and you didn’t listen, then it’s your own fault.

Your issue now is after being listed this long, people will think something is wrong with the house so you will get less showings unless you make a significant price reduction.

Did she run you comps? If she hasn’t run comps in the last month, get her to run them. Think about your house from a buyer perspective, would you buy your house over others listed by you in same price point?

When we sold our townhouse in the Quarter, at an open house for realtors, one of them was talking about reality. He said, sell it in the spring before it gets hot and humid. When the heat and humidity hit, the buyers all are in bad moods and want really complicated contracts just to be difficult.

We signed a six month contract with our agent to give them exclusive right to sell. Open house was planned for the first weekend but never took place. There was no need. It went on the market on April 9, by April 11 we had none offers on it. We're closing on the 20th of this month and sold for 12% higher than our asking price.

I think you may want to check your contract with your agent and see when her exclusive right to sell expires. Then again, look at similar properties in the area and see whether they are selling. It could be that the market just isn't right for you at the moment.

For our part, we're extremely happy with our agent. She both sold our current home in record time and helped us find the perfect home closer to work in west Georgia and much further away from the Atlanta metro area. Maybe we were just lucky as hell to have found her.

To be fair though, there are a whole lot of homes on the market in Rome, Villa Rica, Douglasville, Temple, Cedartown, Rockmart, Carrolton, etc which have been on the market for well over 100 days - some over 200. A lot of that is because the owners/sellers have the home priced too high. Even with the real estate market at an all-time high, people don't want to pay good money for a hell hole or even for a good house that is in a neighborhood that is obviously on the decline.

Open houses advertise agents not houses. They just want the contacts. That doesn't mean your realtor sucks or your house isn't overpriced. It's better to set the market going down, the next person is going to want it for even less.
