When Interviewing a Real Estate Agent to List and Sell Your Home, Should You Ask Him/Her for Their Recommended Price and Then Select the One Who Suggests The Highest Price or Is at Least Willing to Go Along with Your “Dream Price”?
No! You should always select your Realtor based on his/her expertise and credentials. Market value is a separate issue.
Never let an agent “buy” your listing. It’s tempting to “tell you what you want to hear”, but integrity and a professional price opinion are in your interests as well as in your agents’s interests. You should insist on a market analysis to determine the realistic amount your home will bear in today’s market and price it accordingly. Overpricing your home is the worst mistake you can make! Statistics prove that the longer your home is on the market, the lower the price it will sell for.
Pricing realistically from the start is one of the strongest tools you have in winning the “Sales Game”! Listen to Your Realtor’s professional input and recommendations. Then make an intelligent decision.
