I have a friend's parents whose house has been sitting on the market for a little while and they're having no luck with it, what should they do？That's a good question and this is something that comes up a fair bit because it's frustrating when your house isn't selling and all of a sudden you start asking everybody around you what can I do to sell my house？It's really easy and because we encounter this a lot when someone comes to us and their house isn't selling we go through three simple checklists. No. 1 we look at how the house is showing. Is there something that can be changed like that the feedback saying maybe it needs some fresh paint or maybe it needs to be cleaned like it could be as simple as that. The second thing we look at is how it's being marketed. So, is it being advertised in the proper channels, are the proper people seeing it? Because you may be exposing the house to the market but if the right people aren't seeing it it doesn't really matter. And then finally, like after we have those checked off, if the house still isn't selling then we look at price. And we don't just arbitrarily say well okay we have to reduce the price, we look at what the feedback is from the buyers and we also look at the type of house it is, where it is, and the price range that's in because sometimes you can drop the price just for the sake of dropping price but it won't make a difference because if the buyer is not there. So a lot of times in working with you know a good experienced Realtor is knowing that we're confident in price we just need to be a little bit patient so it becomes more of a equation of price versus time at that. But other times it's simple as no we need to bring the price down right away if we're going to get this thing sold. So everyone's situation is a little bit different but those three basic checklists always work. Absolutely and I heard that you have a program that helps sellers when their house is just not getting off the market. Can you tell me about that? Yeah well that's the nice thing about working with the Judy Lindsay Team is that we do have our Guaranteed Sold Program so we'll actually guarantee a house up front before we even take it to market we can let the client know what we're going to, if it doesn't sell, what we're going to buy it for so that they know in a worst case scenario that they're going to be safe and their house is going to be sold by a predetermined price and time.
