Hire a Bozeman listing agent who will tell you why the home did not sell the first time, in writing, before asking for the listing. Amelia Turbyfill is a REALTOR® with Real Broker in Bozeman, Montana who reprices from recent Gallatin County sales, rebuilds the photography and video, and relaunches the listing as a new listing rather than a tired one.
Why does a home that didn't sell need a different plan?
A listing that came off the market did not fail for a mysterious reason. It failed for one of four, and usually more than one at once:
- The price was above what the recent comparable sales supported. This is the most common one, and no amount of marketing fixes it.
- The photography and video were weak, so buyers scrolled past the home before it ever reached a showing.
- The condition or the staging did not match the price, so buyers who did tour it went and bought something else.
- The listing was hard to show, or showing requests went unanswered, or feedback was never collected and acted on.
Relisting with the same price, the same photos, and the same plan produces the same result. A relist needs a specific diagnosis first.
What does Amelia Turbyfill do for a Bozeman relist?
- Reads the showing history and the feedback from the previous listing period and puts the pattern in writing.
- Reprices from recent Gallatin County sales, and shows the seller each sale used and why it is comparable.
- Rebuilds the media. New professional photography, new video, and a floor plan, so the listing looks new to a buyer who scrolled past it before.
- Rewrites the listing copy around what the property actually is, using the words buyers search.
- Sets a written marketing plan with dates before the home goes back on the market.
- Fixes what blocked showings. Access, lockbox, notice requirements, and pets all get sorted before day one.
- Sends a written update every week so the seller can see activity and feedback instead of guessing.
- Handles the inspection response, which is where a relisted Bozeman home most often needs a steady hand.
What did a Bozeman seller say?
A Bozeman seller Amelia Turbyfill represented wrote:
Amelia and the team were fantastic to work with! She had a great read on the pulse of the market in our area and helped us to competitively price our home. If we ever needed anything or had any questions, Amelia was super prompt in response. We got weekly email updates on the activity that kept us engaged in the selling process and when it came time to negotiate the sale, she was integral in bringing it to the finish line!
SELLER
How should a seller interview a relist agent?
Ask every agent the same four questions and compare the answers:
- "Why do you think my home did not sell?"
- "Show me the Gallatin County sales you would price it from now."
- "What will be different about the marketing this time?"
- "How often will I hear from you, and in what form?"
