Oh I love it! I just think it needs some additional artwork and extra lighting and decor to make your dark green walls really pop and give it that extra wow factor. Maybe something big over the sofa. With a nice vintage gold frame? Some fun artwork groupings in the hallway to make it more interesting. A neon light somewhere, that says something fun. Possibly something unique/vintage looking for the kitchen cabinet fixtures? Also I would show pictures of the water view in your listing. 

I am biased though I have an all green office and I love it! Green walls, green velvet sofa etc etc. A big fan of monochrome designs. I like green, gold and vintage together so I think more pops of vintage fun and some tasteful gold touches would make it even more amazing! 

@Melissa Robbins and @Amanda Lizana thank you! 

@Amanda Lizana Thanks! 

@Caleb Brown that would be much appreciated if you know of someone! 

Looking for recommendations for a construction company that would service the Higginsville, MO area - about 40 minutes from Blue Springs, 20 from Odessa. The property needs a complete renovation. It's the upper level of an older brick building downtown. It's 1 unit, about 1500 square feet.

@Charles Kao thanks! I actually do think that was part of the problem. We found out there were a lot of communication issues without any real checks in place to solve for them and that the person managing our property was no longer with the company so we decided to move on to another company. In the process of switching over now.  

Thanks everyone for the advice. Very much appreciated!

@Cameron Pendergraft it's 64068 zip, Liberty area, a suburb of KC.

Thanks everyone for your responses, they are really helpful. Totally get it's a bad time of year. We were really hoping to get it rented out before November because of that. 

@Tim Cebulski and @David Acosta what you said is exactly what I'm concerned with - the lack of feedback or recommendations to get it rented out. We have lowered the price twice but it's basically just me saying lower it to what you need to to get it rented after not hearing anything for a while - which is basically until I contact them. I'm also wondering if the communication issues exist on the potential tenants side as well in terms of them scheduling showings, expressing interest etc. 

@Laura Williams I think the photos are decent for our area. They could be lightened a bit, they're a tad dark. My experience is that when I've asked them to update basic things on the listing for example the square footage - which is pretty off (says it's more than it is) they haven't so I felt that was probably a long shot. Do you mind if I ask what property management company you use in the area? If that's even allowed on here...? If it's not I totally understand. 2-3 months is as long as we were expecting also. Your stats are really helpful especially being KC rentals and are definitely in line with what I was thinking, so thank you!

And thank you @Aristotle Kumpis and @Luther Wilson III also super helpful advice and questions for me to ask them.

Sorry I should have included that it was listed September 1st. I'll have to check on how many showings. They just tell me they've "had showings" or "have some scheduled" when I ask. 

How long should you give a property management company to rent out your property? This is our first property and we hired a property management company that had good reviews but it's been 4 months and the property is still not rented out. One of the main reasons we hired a property management company was because we wanted to get it rented quickly. They were excellent with communication before we hired them and with getting it listed but it's been difficult communication wise the past few months. Any advice or suggestions? We are in the Kansas City area. Also the house is a single family home (4 bed, 2 bath) and is in really good shape (mostly new everything) and in a good area.
