Here’s the question every Seller wants an answer to…Should I select the REALTOR® who says they can get me the highest price.
Here’s the reality…
This is the oldest scam in real estate: Tell the seller what they want to hear, act excited, and compliment the home to get the listing. Then ask for a price reduction in a few days—or even a few weeks. Don’t buy into that. Insist on a written, well-researched market analysis. Select your REALTOR® based on character, trust, credentials and track record, and then use market data to decide on price.
The weatherman doesn’t determine the weather, he/she just reports on the evidence. A good REALTOR® doesn’t determine the market, he/she just reports the evidence. Therefore:
NEVER SELECT AN AGENT ASED ON THE PRICE THEY RECOMMEND!
