Gone are the days of selling a home in a week with multiple offers. Is the home priced correctly? Have you gotten showings? If the answer to those two questions is no, then you need to have a serious discussion with your agent.

There are always several things you can do to get the most for your home. Curb appeal is the first step. Make sure the home catches the eye of buyers as soon as they drive by. Once they get inside, you also want to appeal to their senses - sight, smell, sound, etc. Remove most of your personal photos and even religious artifacts that may turn off some buyers. Make sure your carpets and floors are clean and that the windows sparkle. Ask your agent about decor. Could you use some staging advice? There are just so many things you can do to create desire to buyers to offer their best price.
