What’s Really Stopping You from Putting That ‘For Sale’ Sign Up?

Selling a house is rarely just a practical decision. It’s an emotional one, too. So, if you’re sitting on the idea of selling, but can’t seem to make that leap to ‘For Sale,’ you’re far from alone.

In fact, most homeowners wait far longer than they intend to before making a move, and not because the timing isn’t right, but because something’s holding them back.

So, let’s ask the question: What’s really stopping you from selling?

1. You’re Worried You Won’t Find the Right Next Home

Totally fair. The fear of selling and then being stuck is real. But here’s what you might not know: you can sell with control. With the right agent and plan, you don’t have to rush into the next place.

2. You Can’t Deal with the Stress

Who can, right? But stress usually comes from uncertainty. The more you understand the process, the more it becomes manageable. When you have a clear picture of what happens when, it’s easier to focus on one thing at a time.

3. You Don’t Want to Deal with Estate Agents

Also, understandable. But the avocado property model is a little different. Our agents are self-employed, and they choose to work with fewer clients so they can give you more time and honest guidance. They’re not chasing quotas. They’re building relationships.


4. You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know

This is the big one. And it’s why we wrote our book: "Selling Your Family Home: What They Should Teach Everyone at School." It’s everything we’ve learned from years in the industry, laid out clearly and without jargon.
If you want to:
  • Understand the current market
  • Build a proper selling timeline
  • Create a plan that works for you
...then it’s a brilliant place to start.

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...

The question you should be asking is: “Why do I want to move?”

Serious buyers are always looking. But they can only view what’s available.

If you’ve been thinking about selling your home but haven’t yet listed it, you’re in a very common crisis!
