Asking yourself 'why is my house not selling?'
Although this video has been recorded for our current customers, no doubt about it I’ll be uploading it to social media too.
The idea of this video is to answer a few questions with the main one, ‘Why is my house not selling?’.
What’s more, this video is in support of all estate agents, as long as they are looking after their clients.
Touting is commonplace in estate agency, but it can be at the cost of freedom to the not so aware homeowners hoping to sell.
Many of you may have experienced the letter or flyer through the door stating ‘maybe it’s the marketing’ … ‘switch today for free’ … ‘use a high street agent’.
Mostly statements to make you think you may have chosen wrong, first time.
Well… if you’re being given maximum exposure, and if you have a dedicated someone looking at stats and the performance of your property regularly, then you haven’t necessarily chosen wrong.
People become emotionally attached to property prior to making an offer.
It could be a case of ‘oh Steve, I’ve always wanted to live on this street’, or ‘oooh Gladys look at the mature geraniums in this idyllic front garden’.
It can be the street, the house, the neighbourhood.
It can be price… and no doubt, that will definitely come into it soon or later.
Sometimes a property doesn’t sell quickly; it could be that your property is experiencing an unfortunate lack of desire at that moment in time, it could be the housing market, interest rates… it could be the price (be sure to listen to the valuer, they know a thing or two you know).
Stick with it, but be willing to help the situation once the marketing of your property has been exhausted.
If your estate agent can prove that your property is receiving the same amount of exposure as all their other properties.
If it is always being manipulated online for it to perform better on Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket.
Don’t panic…
Your property’s time will come.
This happens.
And guess what?
It’s not always the price!
It’s not always about reducing.
It’s about timing.
And sometimes, other people’s house sell a lot faster.
Just bide your time.
AS LONG AS YOUR PROPERTY IS RECEIVING THE TENDER LOVING CARE IT DESERVES, as long as you are receiving the respect you deserve, as long as your agent is pulling out all the stops to market your property. Stay where you are.
You, our customer, and those of you who aren’t, let me share with you what you do, or what you will experience at DPSH:
In August; your property posts reached over 90,000 Facebook feeds.
In September; your property posts reached just over 100,000 Facebook feeds.
In October; your property posts reached 110,000 Facebook feeds.
We ran 62 unique Facebook adverts for our clients properties.
All properties which come to market with DPSH receive a 7 days Rightmove featured property listing.
When a property reduces, it receives a 7 day featured property listing on Rightmove.
When the 7 day promotion is over, all properties are then added to a featured property cycle and in turn receive a further featured property promotion on Rightmove.
We also use Premium Listings on Rightmove to gain even more exposure when it is required.
With its differences, the same is also carried out on Zoopla.
Every property is posted on Facebook, Instagram and Google.
If your property doesn’t sell in 5 days, we create a unique Facebook advert for your property.
You are alerted each time we make a marketing move across social media and provided with the correct links so that you can share your marketing with friends and family.
ADDING TO THIS EXPOSURE;
You will NOT be tied in to a contract.
Unlike the mass majority of estate agents, we DON’T tie you into contract term.
Why? Well… there are a few reasons. The main one is FREEDOM.
Freedom to remove your property from the market. Freedom to switch agents if you so wish.
Imagine if you will; you’re in a relationship, there’s a decision to sell up, split up and get out. Which is sad, but it happens.
Sometimes though, that split, that divide, it gets sorted out, there’s a change of heart. That, is something beautiful, and we wouldn’t want to be standing in the way of that healing, and how nice would it be if you wasn’t crippled by a Scroogey contract by a not-so-understanding estate agent.
Although that’s not THE only reason, it’s definitely up there.
What else do you receive from DPSH estate agent?

- Free EPC*
- Free accompanied viewings
