Do you have a home for sale in the Utah Real Estate market? Has it not sold yet? You may be asking why?
While there are many different reasons for a home not selling, there are two that stand out the most.
The first one is price. Are you priced too high? The second one is related to your agent. Did your agent not properly market your home to potential buyers?
It seems now days that there is a growing number of agents that are trying to earn more for less. Their whole listing presentation is centered around doing less. No ads in the paper, flyers, internet ads, no open houses, and ect.
Guess what? That is how homes sell! You don't just throw it up on the Utah MLS and cross your fingers like most agents do now days. It's our job as an agent to be top notch marketers and to get your home out there for everyone to see.
Don't settle for paying a high commission to an agent that is going to simply throw your home on the MLS and beat you up on price.
If you would like to sit down and review my comprehensive marketing plan to get your home sold please call, text, or email me anytime day or night. JustinRobins@UtahHomesToGo.com or 801-499-0214

ForSaleByOwner.com Founder Uses Realtor!
The founder of a Website 'For Sale By Owner' hired a broker for 6% to sell his Chelsea Apartment.
The 'Do it Yourself' Guru couldn't do it himself. Preaching is always easier than practicing. The Wall Street Journal reported Colby Sambrotto, a founder of the website ForSaleByOwner.com, a website that charges people fees to sell their own homes.
Colby Sambrotto had an apartment of his own—a two bedroom in Chelsea—to sell. He couldn't sell it by himself. He spent six months trying to sell his condominium himself through online listings and classified ads. He finally turned over the listing of the 2,000-square-foot apartment to a broker at Bond New York in November.
The agent, Jesse Buckler, sold Mr. Sambrotto's apartment in the Lion's Head condominium for $2.15 million and charged him 6% commission.
He didn't want the broker to increase the price either. The broker told him 'I know what I'm doing-the market is picking up.'
Not only could For Sale By Owner guy not sell his own apartment, but a Realtor was able to sell it for more money. You get what you pay for. It's not as easy at it looks to sell an apartment. Don't waste your money on ForSaleByOwner.com hire a professional. Even the owner of the biggest FSBO site did and so should you!
