"EXPIRED" Real Estate Listing?





Don't Be Sad - We Can Help!
 If your Real Estate Listing on the MLS has "EXPIRED" from the market, you are probably ready to pull your hair out!

 What the heck is going on?  Why would my house in a great town in Florida - near the beach - not sell after a full year on the market?

Most real estate agents are a bit wary of contacting recently EXPIRED homeowners. Why?  I mean you've done half of our work for us by standing out in a crowd and shouting:  
"I WANT TO SELL MY HOUSE!  PLEASE HELP ME!"
                                                                                                                               
I think that most of us suffer a bit from remembering better markets - when houses sold quickly for the asking price (or more)... And no matter what you bought or sold - it was a "smart business decision."  We were drunk with success.  We here in Palm Coast and Flagler Beach, Florida were in "The Fastest Growing County in the USA" from 2003-2005!  Our values were skyrocketing and, if unchecked, our median price would have topped $1,000,000 by 2012!  And then the house of cards in the US housing market came crashing down.  We are working hard to correct things, but it was a huge bubble that burst!  We have some serious orienteering to do before we are out of these woods!
                                                                                                                  
Down?  Yes!  Dead?  No!
... So most Realtors don't call you because they sense you are "angry with the real estate process" and probably not liking real estate agents very much right now!  It's a Mindset Thing...   If an agent - at their core - doesn't believe that you need them or want them, then you probably don't!

If you are now EXPIRED - and you'd rather be SOLD:
  • Interview and hire a highly motivated, well trained, experienced, aggressive real estate agent.
  • One who can take charge, who understands the business and who will tell you the truth about the market (not just what they think you want to hear)
  • Someone who knows how to take an ordinary thing and do it in an extraordinary way...
  • One who can deliver the "real estate holy grail," when you ask:


    • Can I trust you?  (with the keys to my house and input to critical financial decisions)
    • Do you actually care about my personal outcome?  Do you operate with empathy and compassion and Golden Rule behavior?
    • Are you competent... Can you get the job done?
Call me today... 30 minutes at your kitchen table could make all the difference!
