Why isn't my house selling? We are in a stinko market for selling a house. Never before in most of our lifetimes has it been such an incredibly horrible seller's market. Even the best
real estate agents have a tall order to actually sell your house.

Though it can look bleak, some houses are selling. This is thanks to creative, optimistic real estate agents whose actions speak louder than words. They do not give up. These are truly the best real estate agents.

You may feel that your agent has quit on you. You may be really sick of hearing excuses like these from your real estate agent for not mounting an aggressive, smart house marketing strategy :

1. The economy is bad. Nothing is selling right now. It's going to be really slow for a long time. We'll just need to hunker down, settle in, and wait.

2. Buyers just can't qualify these days. Hardly anybody has good credit. It's just too hard to find someone to buy this house.

3. Interest rates are tricky right now. They're going up. (Or they're going down.)

4. There have been a lot of foreclosures around here, so your price is too high. We must cut the price by at least (fill in the blank) percent.

5. Wait until the weather changes next season, and then it will sell for sure! The month of (fill in the blank) is always slow.

The list above contains some truth. Even the best real estate agents may say something like these from time to time. However, if you feel that your agent is not doing enough to get your home sold, be sure to talk with him or her. Discuss what new marketing approaches may be tried. Express your concerns.

If your real estate agent doesn't listen , has no new ideas, or is low on energy and enthusiasm as well as action, fire the agent when you get a chance. Be sure to sign up with a new, more energetic and effective agent when your contract with this one expires. The best real estate agents are the ones with a can do attitude and actions to match.
