The # of Showings Do Not = Sales

We have a listing that is baffling us. It has been on the market 6 months, its been shown 69 times. No agent has said it is over priced, in bad condition, or in need of repair. I have no idea of why it hasn't sold. Of course, we could drop the price, but is that really a service to our client when the comps are saying it is already under priced and in relatively great condition.

So moral to the story is, showings do not equal a sales. Last week we put a home on the market and the first person who saw it bought it. Then we have had another house on the market a year and been shown 76 times. After a little bit of research I would say that we average about 15 showings per listing, that we sell. I am not sure how that stacks up to other agents, but it sounds pretty solid to me. Let me know what you think, leave a response below.

Viva Las Vegas....Prudential Convention Here We Come!

Andrea and I will be traveling to Las Vegas at the end of this week to be recognized at the Prudential Real Estate national convention. We will be awarded with the Chairman's Circle Platinum and the PREA 100 awards. We have had a hard long year, and in the process we have sold some homes, thanks to our Clients and Team Members.

So if you need us we will be gone from Sunday to Wednesday, but the team phone and team members will be in town if you need anything. Have a great week and lets hope I don't lose all of my money.

Productive Week in Columbia, SC!

Although the market may be "soft". It is hard to believe it on our end. Yes, we do put on more listings than we have closings per week, right now. But what the national media doesn't understand is people have to move, and Columbia, SC is no different. As the "stimulus package" kicks in ( I won't go there) and the scared buyers come out of their shells you will start to see listing starting to sell. So, until then we have to be patient, and act as if any offer could be our highest and best. I promise to our current, past and future clients; I am not working 12 hour days for no reason. We are putting in the time and energy to try and get your home sold. No matter what our facebook pages say.
