If you ever watch Bill O’Reilly on Fox News, you’ve probably heard him say, “Don’t be a pinhead!” In real estate, the advice to sellers is similar: “Don’t be a pinball!” When selling a home, you can become a pinball listing, which is something you desperately want to avoid.

Avoid becoming a pinball listing!

”

If your home is not priced correctly and is in bad condition, you’re setting yourself up for failure. You will become a pinball listing: buyers will come and go, but no one will submit an offer. Buyers will see your home and bounce to another listing.

As a seller, it’s important to understand that either other listings are going to make your home look good or your home will make other listings look good. Which would you rather be: the home that wows buyers and gets multiple offers or the pinball listing? I think the answer is clear.

If you have questions about how you can avoid being a pinball listing, or if you need real estate assistance of any kind, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you!
