What happens if your home was listed for sale but expired off the market? Unfortunately, you're not alone because many people experience this when trying to sell their house. More often than not, it isn't the homeowner's fault. So what can you do when your home expires off the market? Start by taking into account what has happened up to that point. Look back at your past showings, where you are right now, and what got you to that point. Typically, the best suggestion is to start interviewing agents. Most markets across the country are doing well, so now is the time to list your house. Do your homework and interview several agents.

When you interview agents, be sure you're asking the right questions. Ask them how many homes they have sold, because you want them to have experience. Since the real estate game has changed these days, you also need to ask the agent or agents to show you their marketing budget and marketing plan. Over 90% of homebuyers start their home search online, so if your house isn't being marketed online globally, you're at a disadvantage. When going back on the market, it's also important to talk with an agent about the process itself. Talk about closing and negotiation and ask the agent about their past. How long have they been in business? All these things will add up to a successful sale. If you have any questions about getting your house back on the market, we'd love to help you out.
