The two main ways to sell real estate are:

1. By price

2. By traffic

Let's talk about The Price Approach first.

Because many real estate agents use the first method, when a property doesn't sell after a certain period, they usually ask the seller to slash the price.

Since most sellers rely on their agents for professional opinions, they typically agree to lower the prices of their properties and end up losing tens to hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars for high-end homes.

Before suggesting a price drop when a property doesn't sell after a specific amount of time, these agents would do their clients and themselves a great service by first analyzing whether they have generated the maximum number of potential buyers.

If the answer is no, the agents should figure out effective ways to get more interested prospects to the home before asking their clients to reduce the price. This brings us to the second way of selling real estate:

After determining the market value for your house, your agent should use effective marketing strategies to compel as many serious prospects as possible to visit it in person. And, before any price reduction is considered, she must be absolutely certain that the main reason your property hasn't sold is really the price and not that she didn't generate the maximum traffic for it.

Since many agents sell properties using the 3-P formula, if yours is doing the same thing, you could be losing a lot of money and your house, townhouse, condo, or mansion, could take several times longer to sell.

Although many real estate agents claim open houses are an effective selling tool, the chance of your property being sold as the result of an open house, or even a series of open houses, is tiny. Here's why.
