So you have decided to sell your home.
You select some Realtors to interview.
Marketing Plans are presented.
Prices are discussed.
You list with Realtor B.

Did you choose your Realtor based on the fact that the price presented was the highest?
Did you ever consider that the Realtor was telling you what you wanted to hear just to get the listing?
Did you choose that Realtor because of the brand name attached?

If you do not have sufficient data presented to qualify the price given, your listing is very likely being bought. Ask every Realtor to show you sales and competitve listings in your neighborhood. Question how they arrived at their price. It does not matter what brand name or not your Realtor works for. It is up to the Realtor to sell your house, not the company that sponsors them.

Any Realtor in this market that buys a listing is going to hit problems with selling the house.
You are not going to get showings, price reductions are going to be requested by the Realtor all the time, and what incentive is there for the Realtor to actively market the home when they know the price is too high?

house price reductions

Your goal is to sell the house, so don't be bought!
