What does it mean to delist and relist a home?<\/h2>\n

At its core, delisting and relisting real estate means deactivating all content designed to market the property and then giving the process another go when you\u2019re ready.<\/p>\n

More often than not, this entails taking the property off the multiple listing service<\/a> (MLS) in your area and placing it back on after a strategic amount of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
