My listing just expired. Should I switch agents or give the same agent a second try?

Start with a diagnosis, not the decision. Ask the current agent to walk you through their data: what feedback came back from showings, what the photo and write-up performance looked like, and what their next-move plan would be. If the answer is 'drop the price' with no other diagnostic work, that's a signal worth taking. 7713 Purvis sold after a same-price re-list with new photography — the issue was presentation, not price.

How many price reductions are normal before a home sells?

Fewer than most sellers think. Repeated small drops signal weakness to buyers and invite chip-down offers. One decisive move at the right number outperforms three small ones. On 7713 Purvis, we made one price move ($265K to $250K, a 5.7% reduction) and went under contract within one to two weeks at the full new list price.

Should I rent my home out instead of selling if showings are slow?

It depends on your cash position, your interest rate, and your local rent comp. The honest move is to model both side by side: net proceeds on the lower sale price vs monthly cash flow on a rental hold after taxes, insurance, maintenance reserve, and debt service. On 7713 Purvis the sellers ran both numbers and chose the sale at $250K. Some sellers in similar situations choose the rental hold. Either can be the right answer; defaulting to one without modeling the other is the mistake.

Why did 7713 Purvis sell in 34 days when the comp on the same street took 115?

Different home (smaller — 1,536 vs 2,028 sqft), different season (May vs December), different listing strategy (one decisive price move vs a longer reduction tail), and different photography. The 30%-of-comp-time outcome isn't only about the agent — but the agent's diagnostic work, photography decision, and single-move pricing strategy were the controllable variables.

Do you only sell expired listings?

No. I sell standard listings, off-market deals, and represent buyers across Temple, Belton, and Bell County. Expired listings are a specialty because the diagnostic work is the same playbook as any seller representation — most agents just skip it.
