Having your house sit on the market, without any signs of a buyer can feel overwhelming and frustrating. The listing process isn’t always easy. In our latest post, we will discuss what to do if a traditional listing isn’t working for you and you would like an alternative solution!
Houses don’t always sell when they are listed on the MLS. A lot of time and money can be lost while the house sits on the market. However, there are things you can do to avoid wasting your time with an unwanted property. Keep reading to learn more about what to do if a traditional listing isn’t working for you.
Sell Your House Directly
Selling directly is an increasingly popular way to sell because of the fast and simple process. You can have confidence that you will be treated with honesty and fairness when you work with a professional home buyer such as US Direct Home Buyers. We will make an offer, and then you can decide if it’s right for you! When you work with US Direct Home Buyers there is no pressure for you to sell. You are in control, and we will close on a day of your choosing. Unlike a listing, you will have a guaranteed closing date and price from the start.
Take Matters Into Your Own Hands
You can try to sell the property on your own. You will need to research recent sales in your area in order to accurately price the house. You should also consider the costs of marketing, signage, printing, listing websites, open house needs, and more. The expenses can add up, but if you do it right, you can sell your house on your own without having to pay any agent commissions.
Rent The Property
If a traditional listing isn’t working for you, you can always attempt to rent out the house in the meantime. You can hold back for 6 months or a year than try to sell the property again when there are new buyers looking for a house. This isn’t ideal unless you are ready to play the role of the landlord. Being a landlord can add a lot of work you might not have been expecting. From making repairs, screening tenants, collecting rent and handling evictions, many landlords find owning a rental property can quickly turn into a part-time job.
Find A New Agent And Try Again
If you had an unsuccessful experience listing your home, remember that not all agents are the same. You may have an entirely new experience the second time around. Ask for recommendations before hiring another agent. Before singing a listing agreement, look over reviews and even ask to speak to their past clients.
If all else fails, get in touch with US Direct Home Buyers today to find out what we can do for you! There is never any obligation or hassle. Explore your options before trying to sell your house again!
