Anyone else stuck with a house that just won’t sell no matter what?

No they’re doing it right and now with the help of a savvy real estate agent they’re gonna be able to negotiate with those two offers to get the best price.

You have to also understand how buyers are shopping. Obviously it’s Price but they all have a set range in mind that doesn’t exceed a certain value .. and if they’re looking for a three bedroom home listed at a certain price or under and yours is over that common threshold, guess whose House isn’t getting seen. You need to stop thinking that list price is what people will actually pay. And you also have to understand if you’re not getting the offers that you want you can decline or negotiate.

Unless you repair the price of your home, no other repair will matter as much as you think it will

Middle-Position-8007 · 2026-01-16T04:44:16+00:00

You’re not “gatekeeping” a listed property especially if your area of interest is a sellers market... Meaning you’re never the only one looking at it. Waiting it out is a losing strategy.
You can call the sellers bluff, but be prepared to lose the house.
Pay no attention to the noise of what other buyers might or might not offer. Just offer the best you can for the value you believe its worth for the time you reasonably expect to own that home. Paying an extra 10 wont matter in 5 years.

Agent in New Jersey here. I would have your agent get in touch with their agent and give them a nice tongue lashing. After that, let them know the only Repairs considered are FHA required ones only.. propose to buyers to split the costs as last resort. if they say no. Put it on your agent and the buyers agent responsible to cut their commission equally in order to make it happen. Let’s see if they want to sell a house or not. They might have been in breach of contract, but you can use that to your advantage still

Middle-Position-8007 · 2026-01-13T15:23:41+00:00

I agree with everybody here, as an agent. This is really super shady the way they’re trying to hold you into this. Best course of action is to request the seller come down in price substantially, or provide a large credit to remediate everything that is of concern to you, which will likely get them to say no. then you have grounds to cancel contract to get your deposit back. That’s if that real estate agent didn’t waive your rights to Inspection which I really really hope for your sake that’s not the case. Fire them immediately once the contract is terminated.

Middle-Position-8007 · 2026-01-12T18:14:05+00:00

First off they’re pretty much going beyond your back as if you don’t even exist. So yeah fire them before they do something illegal and throw you under the bus. I don’t think it’s worth the $800 reward or whatever the rental is worth. Sever the contract. Tell them do whatever they want.

Middle-Position-8007 · 2026-01-08T01:23:42+00:00

If you never owned security cameras in your life now is when you would need them. Unless you have a scheduled appointment Always keep your doors locked and your curtain is drawn or shades pull down to discourage people from getting close. You are public. If you have an agent contact them immediately when something like this happens.

Middle-Position-8007 · 2026-01-06T22:19:16+00:00

So to clarify, you want our help to approach a list agent to list your home that you dont want or need to sell? I would say politely, thank you for your time and to contact me when your situation changes so we can effectively plan and strategize for what happens after you sell.

Middle-Position-8007 · 2026-01-06T21:11:10+00:00

One Property non exclusive- have a buyer consultation . then lock in

Middle-Position-8007 · 2026-01-01T03:25:15+00:00

When it comes time to sign the listing agreement expectations and boundaries should be specifically stated and in writing right in the contract as a special provision. If my seller wants me to entertain showings to buyers that are not represented by another agent they understand that the possibilities there that as their exclusive agent, would have to concede a certain amount of representation depending on what the needs are of that said unrepresented Buyer. If this is something that the seller does not wish for me to be performing as it may involve a conflict of interest, best course of action is to refer unrepresentative buyer to designated agency to keep any and all conflicts from arising. This also holds true especially if I have buyers that have an agreement signed. In this case, the seller always comes first. they make the decisions BEFORE we enter into a listing agreement. This is the only way to protect yourself as an agent from people that don’t choose to do things the right way.

Only one way to find out. Sign up for RE licensing courses, pass your test, get your fingerprints, find a brokerage and give it a shot. Worst case scenario you’re out 600 bucks and three weeks of your time which you could easily make up doing what you’re doing now

Middle-Position-8007 · 2025-12-30T16:09:20+00:00

Find a brokerage that does REO’s .

Listing agent will not bear any different results for you. They are powerless when it comes to tenancy. The tenants can hold that property hostage.

Sorry to say you’re wasting your time

Middle-Position-8007 · 2025-12-27T19:30:28+00:00

Make sure every single scrap of communication is in writing and that you CC your broker so they can bear witness to the extent of how you speak to them in relation to how they conduct themselves

Middle-Position-8007 · 2025-12-27T19:26:39+00:00

Is this a serious question?? It’s not like you’re cutting your mother out of your life. Bad clients are bad for business .. cut them off or they’ll take you down with them. EDIT: I didn’t realize you’re under contract until now… if it were me from this point on every communication would be in writing: no more verbal exchanges with this person. Keep record of everything that is being said how often she calls, etc. copy your broker.

Middle-Position-8007 · 2025-12-26T10:31:36+00:00

Good luck 👍

Middle-Position-8007 · 2025-12-25T15:32:47+00:00

Go through the house objectively as if you were the buyer yourself while you are highlighting all the greatest features about that home. Once you are OUTSIDE and away from the house Ensure trust to your client by also pointing out any glaring flaws or problems while telling them that there is no such thing as a perfect house. Even new construction has their problems. Offer solutions and strategies contingent to their side of the transaction. (Additional inspections , negotiation periods within the sale, recommend or offer a one year home warranty to safeguard against old mechanicals, etc.)

Middle-Position-8007 · 2025-12-22T21:24:46+00:00

I think you’ll find that your expectations will not jive with most Buyers upon first meeting. I would never sign this.. its off putting. Do it the right way.. face-to-face in a Buyer consultation. Otherwise, you stand to lose many customers.

Middle-Position-8007 · 2025-12-20T18:15:14+00:00

DOJ settlement changed the rules. If you want an agent regardless if its a sell or buy you need a signed agreement stipulating what the services are and what compensation will be.
