You've had it! Enough is enough. Your home's been on the market way longer than you expected and it still hasn't sold. You had some showings at the beginning. But after the first couple of weeks, the showings dropped off to almost zero. You have a showing here and there, still. But nobody has come back for a second look. And nobody has even made an offer.

Next thing you know, you're being sent listings by e-mail, and going out to see houses with that agent.

There is a certain mystique to older homes. With each one there is always a veil of mystery to be pulled back with every structure that predates the 1970’s.
