Viewings Low or Underwhelming? Here’s What Could Be Going Wrong…
You're not imagining it. And no, it’s probably not your house that’s the problem.
Are you finding yourself Googling any of the following?
· “My house is on the market, but not getting viewings”
· “No interest in my house for sale”
· “How to market my home better”
If you are, you're definitely not alone.
This is one of the most common frustrations I hear from sellers who are already on the market with another estate agent… and yet feel like the process has stalled. Either the phone isn’t ringing, the viewings are painfully slow, or the ones that do show up don’t seem remotely serious.
You're not imagining it. And no, it’s probably not your house that’s the problem.
If your viewings are lacking in volume or quality, something in the process isn’t working.
And more often than not, it’s fixable… with the right approach.
So, let’s talk honestly:
What’s really going wrong when viewings are low – or underwhelming?
Here’s what I see time and time again in Reading and the surrounding areas... and what I’d be doing differently if this were my home.
✅ 1. The Marketing Isn’t Hitting the Right Audience
This is often the root of the problem.
If your property’s description is bland, your photos don’t highlight the lifestyle, or the listing reads like a copy-paste job, you’re probably missing your ideal buyer completely.
If I were your agent, I’d dig deep into who the buyer is for your home and how we tailor the listing, the platforms, and the timing to reach them. That includes social media exposure, property previews, and much more than just portal traffic.
✅ 2. The Buyers Are Poorly Qualified
Are your viewers serious buyers or just curious neighbours?
One of the most common issues is agents booking viewings just to show activity. No financial checks, no context, no prep.
If I were managing your sale, I’d ensure every viewer is pre-qualified and briefed before stepping through your door so no one’s wasting your time, and every visit is a real opportunity.
✅ 3. The Viewing Experience Feels… Flat
A buyer walking into your home should feel something.
But if the agent is rushed, distracted, or simply unfamiliar with the property, that experience falls flat.
As your local avocado property agent, I personally carry out viewings, so I can build a relationship with the buyer, answer their questions with insight, and highlight what makes your home special.
✅ 4. There’s No Follow-Up Strategy
Getting someone through the door is one thing.
Following up properly? That’s where the conversion happens.
If your agent isn’t gathering honest feedback, addressing concerns, and staying in touch with interested buyers, you're not in a sales process – you're in a holding pattern.
What I’d Be Doing Differently
As your avocado partner in Reading and the surrounding areas, here’s what I bring to the table:
- Fully personalised marketing, not a template
- Proper buyer qualification, every single time
- Viewing experiences that connect, not just tick boxes
- Feedback that leads to action, not just vague updates
- A weekly plan that evolves as the market does
Because a home that sits quietly on the market for weeks? That’s not how I work.
Let’s relaunch it, reposition it, and get buyers through the door who actually want to move in.
