Assuming your home has been positioned correctly for the market, it would not be unusual to get a dozen or more showings within the first 2 weeks to a month depending upon the time of year. It would also be reasonable to expect to receive at least one offer.

What do you do if you have not had an offer? If you have set up ALL of your 8 Home Selling Keys correctly, you only have one choice. Make a price correction!

At this point you may resist and be tempted to offer the following refrain.

“They can always make an offer. Can’t they?”

And you would be right. They, (meaning potential home buyers that have toured your home) could just make an offer, However, if your pricing is too ambitious, they likely won’t.

Situation

Shaun, his wife and baby daughter decided to move nearer family in Sherwood Park. Shaun did not have a great deal of equity in his current home so the Comfree program made sense and he bought it. Unfortunately what many people forget is that the Comfree program is essentially ‘for sale by owner’ and there is very little support during the sales and marketing cycle. During the time that Shaun was trying to sell his home most homes sold in 60 days.

Shaun’s home languished on the market for a full 6 months and remained unsold. Comfree offered him a second listing term for a discounted rate.

Shaun declined and looked around for a better way to sell his home. The flat fee program offered by Vital Home Realty was the obvious choice.
