I expected this to be a great post. It was. I’m really commenting to test your LiveFyre plugin. I think phxreguy is giving this a test too. Do u like it?

We have been listed for 30 days and have had 2 showings the first week. We are comparable to the neighborhood listings (except the foreclosures that are in need of repair) the house will show great and the pictures are good. (I think) BUT there have been no calls or showings. Can we offer a personal incentive to agents? A cash bonus to the agent that sells our house?
Our square footage isn’t huge but the land and improvements are substantial. We think it will sell IF we can get the people up here.
Any advice? feel free to look at our listing 4555 Stoney Ridge Road Placerville,CA

We currently have a house on the market and have had 30 showings. All the flyers need to be refilled every two weeks. Is it peculiar that our agent has not shown it once? He also doesn’t believe in open houses and agent incentives. We have good feedback but no contract.. Help any suggestions?

Great post, Brian. I particularly agree with the value of visuals when it comes to engaging the interest of potential buyers. It simply baffles me to see multi-million dollar properties listed and the only pictures available look like they were taken from a phone while the photographer/agent was doing jumping jacks.

[...] Nashville and Beyond, I found a really good article on why houses do not get shown and sold. It is basic, no brainer things, but serves as a useful checklist for listing agents and for [...]

Brian,
You are so correct and I am going to keep this as a little note to me to make sure each time I take a listing I am not remiss on anything on this list! Thank you for taking the time to write this Brian, it is right on! Kudos to you!

Will, there is no way to get a number of how many agents and their buyers are unable to get in to a house. We use a showing service which does log this information as far as our sellers are concerned. As soon as an agent calls to schedule their client’s showing the homeowner is contacted immediately. Thanks for posting!
