Do You Feel Stuck? Here's What We Notice About Sellers in This Position

Are You Searching These Phrases? “My home isn’t selling, and I don’t know why.” “I feel stuck in a sole agency agreement.” “How do I get things moving again with my property sale?” If yes, it means you’re in what we call the “agent gap”, when your agent’s actions no longer match your goals...

Some homes don’t sell quickly. This can happen.
But what is more frustrating is when a sale doesn’t just stall, it gets stuck.
No new interest. No strategy. No change.
If you’ve been feeling like your sale has hit a wall, here’s the good news:
You’re not the problem. But your current plan might be.


The 3 Signs You’re Stuck in the Agent Gap

  1. Passive communication - Updates are rare, vague, or only come when you chase
  2. No evolution - The marketing, pricing, and strategy haven’t adapted since launch
  3. Emotional burnout - You’ve gone from hopeful to frustrated to disheartened

Sound familiar? We're sorry to say, but you’re currently stuck.


So, What Should Be Happening?

Sellers in this position need 3 things:
  • A fresh, unbiased listing review
  • A new injection of energy into marketing and targeting
  • An agent who can read between the lines of buyer feedback

Without that, time drags on and confidence drops.


What We’d Be Doing Differently

In Shinfield, Arborfield, Spencers Wood & Lower Earley, we work with a lot of sellers who feel stuck, and we help them move again.
Here’s how:
  • Pinpoint exactly where the sale lost momentum
  • Reintroduce your home to the market with new creative energy
  • Reframe pricing or messaging based on real-time buyer psychology
  • Work with you closely to rebuild belief in the process and the result

Because when you feel stuck, it’s easy to assume the only option is to wait it out.
It’s not.
