When a property is listed for months on end, only to end up going to an “Expired” status there are many different items that happen.
First, the moment it changes from being available for sale to “expired” every listing agent in the area is calling. Some agents want to beat their competition by calling as early as 5am. Imagine how happy that seller is to not only NOT have their home sold but to now be bothered at 5 o’clock in the morning!
Some agents try the personal approach and drop something on their doorstep. I am sure the home owner is thrilled when they come home to find DVD’s, letters, or maybe a creative box on their doorstep telling them about how “this time it will be different”. Now after a long day of work they have to pick everything up and throw in the trash can and yet…their home still isn’t sold.
