Brunswick, St.Marys, and Kingsland Georgia Real Estate - Listing Contract Expired

There are only a few main reasons why real estate contract would expire without the Georgia Home Selling in the listing period.  To give the home a chance for success the home should have been listed and fully marketed for a six month listing period.  This six month period is a fair amount of time to provide the average real estate listing agent.  An "above average" real estate agent will probably be done with the home sale long before the six month deadline is an issue.  The most common reasons for a listing to expire without a successful sale are:

• Georgia Home For Sale is not in For Sale / Showable Condition (First Impressions).
• Georgia Home is not truly marketed For Sale in an effective manner (Aggressive Exposure).
• Georgia Home is marketed For Sale in the wrong price range; either too high or too low (Priced Right).
• Real Estate Agent did not do what they claimed they would do and failed at all or most of the items listed above (or they never had a real estate plan / strategy to begin with). 

These are the basic reasons why a Georgia home owner will find their listing expires without a sale.  In my years of real estate experience they have consistently been the downfall of many homes for sale, whether marketed in Georgia or elsewhere around the country.  Since I spend all my time dealing with Georgia Real Estate I make it a point focus on local trends and how they are paralleled in markets around North America.  To take an in-depth look at why these items matter make sure you read the "3 Selling Secrets on Georgia Homes For Sale" and learn why these items matter.

Georgia Real Estate Listing Expired - What to do now?

Rest assured that you can still sell your home.  When your Georgia Real Estate Contract has expired and you still own your home, it may cross your mind to wonder what is wrong with your home.  Many, many people consider their home one of the more personal areas of their lives (family and money probably rank higher) and can be sensitive to the let-down of it not selling.

Since your Georgia Home For Sale strategy should take exposure and price into account, it is possible the home is in perfect marketing condition but simply lacked the exposure or proper pricing guidance from your real estate agent.  Again, make sure you read the "3 Selling Secrets" page for serious background on the strategy and then get the home on the market again.

This time when you put your Georgia home back on the market for sale ensure you have a real estate agent that can guide you through the process and marketing strategy successfully.  How can you know if the real estate agent is capable of this?  Make sure you ask the deep questions!  What is their strategy?  How much of it is online?  How much of it is print?  How many websites will your home marketing reach?  How does the agent make sure that your home reaches other agents/agency sites as a full marketing package?  Do they get your home on both Glynn County and Camden County sites or are they limited?  Keep in mind that "print advertising" is almost obsolete and if they can only put your home in print and then on one or two rudimentary websites...run!!!

If you had just enough time to ask one simple question of your potential agent I would suggest you ask them:

"What is your full marketing strategy for my Georgia Home?"

If they stumble through an answer that sounds a lot like nothing, or they simply say they will put it on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), provide a for sale sign, and use a lock box, then you have probably found an agent on the bottom of the curve.  I'd suggest finding another agent and start the interview process over!
