House Not Selling? These 5 Things Are Killing Your Listing | EP377
Mon Feb 02 2026
If your home isn’t selling, something in the process is missing—and it’s almost always one (or more) of these five: traffic, marketing, condition, price, and the realtor. In this episode, Adrian Trott and Ariel Kormendy break down how each one blocks offers, what to look for in your current listing strategy, and the practical fixes that get buyers back through the door.

2:02 Reason #1 — Traffic: showings, eyeballs, and access

11:43 Reason #2 — Marketing: 2026 marketing vs “10 years ago”
15:07 Process check: how to interview agents + what “a plan” looks like
16:01 Reason #3 — Condition: messy, smells, curb appeal, and hard truths

20:42 Reason #4 — Price: why overpriced homes get ignored (and stigmatized)
