About this episode

Most sellers think more time on the market means more buyers and a better price. In reality? The opposite is often true. In this episode of Selling Southport, Andrew Wright breaks down why the first 14 days of your sales campaign can make or break your result and how sellers accidentally lose momentum, competition, and serious buyers by waiting too long. Using a real Southport case study, Andrew explains what happens when a property launches strong… then suddenly goes quiet. From buyer psychology and pricing strategy to why serious buyers act fast, this episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at what really drives strong offers in today’s market. If your home sits too long, buyers start asking questions. Momentum disappears. Competition fades.
