Monroe, WI

The question is how much money have those long days on market listings cost the sellers? The financial loss often exceeds the extra mortgage payments paid and goes beyond the uncompensated hassle factor of trying to keep a home spotless during showings. Not to mention the taxes, utilities, and the delay of moving on with your life. It affects the value that a buyer ultimately chooses to pay because it's not a fresh listing anymore. It's now stale, dated, a market-worn home that was overpriced for too long. Don't let it happen, price your home at the market value.

Can you price a home, Too Low?

Homes sell at a price a buyer is willing to pay and a seller is willing to accept. This is a strainght forward rule. If a home is priced too low, priced under the competition, the seller (should) receive multiple offers to drive up the price to market value. Hence a bidding war. So there is little danger in pricing a home too low. The danger lies in pricing it too high and selecting your agent solely on opinion of value, I beleive would be unwise.

There is alot of talk about who or how the price is determined for listing a home
The truth is it doesn't really matter how much money you think your home is worth. Nor does it matter what I think or ten other agents. The person whose opinion matters is the buyer who makes an offer. Pricing homes is part art and part science. It involves comparing similar properties, making adjustments for the differences among them, tracking market movements and taking stock of present inventory, all in an attempt to come up with a range of value, an educated opinion. This method is the same way an appraiser evaluates a home. And no two appraisals are ever exactly the same; however, they are generally close to each other. In other words, there is no hard and fast rule to price any home. It's an honest, educated evaluation and the market will dictate the price.

Is your Realtor working for YOU?

Let's look at some of the terms, what they mean and how they would effect you.

Seller's Agent Your duty is to obtain the best deal for the seller. You are allowed to give the buyer only material facts about the property. A Seller's Sub Agent is an agent from another office who is not working as a Buyer's Agent.

Buyer's Agent Your duty is to obtain the best deal for the buyer. You may pass on any and all information you obtain about the seller or the property.

Dual Agent You must be loyal to both parties. Dual agency occurs when a real estate agency owns a listing, and an agent from the office, working as a buyer's representative, shows that listing. In areas where it's allowed, Dual Agency must be disclosed and agreed-to in writing by both parties. Some real estate educators, compares Dual Agency to "walking a tightrope," since it's sometimes difficult to focus on the needs of one client versus the other.

Designated Agent Very similar to Dual Agency, and also not available everywhere. The broker-in-charge designates two agents to work a transaction, one for the seller, one for the buyer.
