The Cost of Selling a Home

Why Some Homes Sell Fast and Others Don’t

Two listings can hit the market on the same day, in the same neighborhood, at the same price point, and have completely different outcomes.

One gets scrolled past.

The other gets swarmed with showings and multiple offers.

So what makes the difference? Strategy.

Why Some Homes Sit on the Market

Homes that linger often fall into a few common traps:

  • Priced based on emotion instead of market data

  • Photographed in a hurry, without professional staging or lighting

  • Marketed without a story, just another house in the feed

When this happens, even great properties can get overlooked.

What Makes Buyers Pay Attention

The homes that stand out do so because they are positioned with intention:

  • Priced with a plan that aligns with market trends

  • Prepped and polished before hitting the MLS

  • Marketed like a feature story, not just a bullet-point checklist

These are the homes buyers remember, share with friends, and compete for.

Selling Is Not About Luck

It is about strategy. The right preparation and marketing plan creates emotional connection and urgency the moment a buyer sees your home online.

That is exactly what I help sellers do with my Sold Playbook, a proven process to position your home for maximum value.
