Sellers, If You Won’t Listen To Your Realtor, At Least Take A Tour Of Competing Homes
Yes, I agree, your home is awesome.
However, all too often home sellers set the price on irrelevent data. We are seeing that more now than in the past.
What you owe on the home, what the neighbors similar home sold for last spring, or what you want it to be worth is not what it is worth.
It is hard for an agent to turn down a listing. But it is senseless for an agent to try and market a home that is seriously over priced. Listing agents have a fiduciary responsibility to get you the maximum price for your home. Most Realtors take pride in building their business on satisfied clients. It is painful to work with you when you tell them you want much more from your home than it is worth. The agent doesn’t want to let you down.
So here is the new rule sellers dear. If you and your agent agree on the value of your home, or are close, give each other a hug. But if your agent kindly or directly asks you to take a tour of the competition, take the darn tour.
It is always important that you get the right price. Sometimes it is equally important to get it quickly, maybe more important.
Don’t let what you want, what you hope, what you need, what you coulda got back then, or should have got set the price.
