Should We Make a Realtor Change?

That question has been on our mind lately. Fact is, the homes in our price bracket just aren't selling.

We made an appointment with an agent from Denver to talk about a potential change. Nothing official, just talk. That was scheduled for September 14th at noon. We hadn't had a showing in 7 weeks and were really concerned. On Friday the 13th at 10 pm, I got a showing request for 2 pm the next day.

We met with the Denver realtor at noon, had a good talk, and came away with some good ideas regardless of whether or not we make any changes. BUT, we figured we couldn't use the reasoning of no showings to end our contract since we had one and then another a few days later.

Instead, we made some tweaks to our listing, lowered the price and early next week we are going to un-list from our current MLS and re-list on the Denver MLS. That will have the bonus of new eyes on our listing and reset our days on market to "0"!!!! That's huge. 

Why stay with our current realtor? Using a different one will be a substantial payout to them and we are hoping to be the karma and blessing in our realtor's life that he was in our life 20 years ago.

Lots of prayers and fasting for a home sale in October. We'd appreciate any prayers you could offer on our behalf.
