They went with the other agent today.
The other agent quoted them a higher price.
Two weeks ago, a better home on their street sold for $100,000 less than that.
I could have matched the number. Signed the listing. Then spent the next three months calling them to talk about price drops.
I’d rather lose the listing on the truth than win it on a number I can’t defend.
Every month a home sits, the sellers keep paying the mortgage, taxes, utilities and insurance. That money never comes back. And buyers start wondering what’s wrong with it.
Sometimes you do everything right and still lose. That’s not a weakness. That’s real estate.

Honest pricing costs a listing sometimes, but it saves sellers a lot of stress later.

Sellers still have unrealistic expectations. Average person does not understand what's going on in economy and where it's heading
