re: When is it time to change realtors?

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.
