If your home has been on the market for 30, 45 — maybe even 60 days — with no serious offers, it’s easy to get frustrated.
And right now, you might be thinking:
“My agent isn’t doing enough. Maybe it’s time for a new one.”

But before you fire your Realtor, let’s talk about what might really be happening.

Real Talk: It Might Not Be the Agent 

In today’s market, homes aren’t flying off the shelves like they did in 2021 or early 2022.
Interest rates are higher. Inventory has grown. And buyers? They’re more cautious, picky, and price-sensitive than ever.

Here’s what I see behind the scenes every day as someone actively involved in both sales and lending:

• Great listings are sitting because pricing hasn’t been adjusted.

• Deals fall apart because sellers refuse to address inspection items.

• Showings are skipped because the home wasn’t staged or properly presented.

Most of the time, your agent has told you this — and you didn’t want to hear it.
Lower the price. Do the repairs. Stage the home. Be flexible.

That’s not your agent being lazy — that’s your agent being honest. And sometimes, honesty feels uncomfortable.

The Market Has Shifted. Have You?

We’re no longer in a market where overpricing and minimal prep still lead to multiple offers.
Today’s buyers have options. They're calculating monthly payments down to the dollar. And they’re walking away from anything that feels overpriced, under-prepared, or inflexible.

The sellers getting results?

They’ve adjusted. They’re realistic. They’re working with their agent — not against them.

What Your Agent Can and Can’t Do 

Let’s be clear:
✅ Your agent can position your home to be competitive in this market.
✅ They can advise you on smart updates, pricing, and strategy.
✅ They can market the home professionally and get it in front of the right eyes.

But ❌ they cannot manufacture buyers at a price the market won’t support.
❌ They cannot force someone to overlook inspection issues.
❌ And they cannot change the interest rates or economic conditions.

Work Smarter, Not Just Harder 

It’s tempting to believe that a new agent will magically sell your home.
And sure, sometimes a fresh perspective helps.
But often, the problem isn’t who’s selling the home — it’s how the home is positioned for today’s buyers.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure… I’m here to talk strategy — not sell you sunshine.
Let’s get real about what it takes to get your home sold in this market.
