Realtors get mad and love to list with a lower price. Speed of transaction is FAR more important to them than another 20k on the price. They may only get another 400, 500 on a higher price. But the additional 20k for the seller can mean much more.
As always, depends where and when.
But according to the Freakonmics book, when Realtors list their OWN house, they price higher and take several more weeks or months to get a higher price accepted.
That’s right. Realtor want their commissions now. Lower your damn prices people because the RE agents are tired of waiting for their bloated inflated outrageous commissions.
No doubt
Most of them just want the listing & let other agents make the sale.
I get calls every week-—TO SELL MY HOUSE.
IT is not currently for sale.
I have sworn at them
Yelled at them, etc.
Finally, I tell them:
I WILL SELL:
THE PRICE IS $1 MILLION PLUS ANY Capital GAINS I have to pay-—I want all the money in CASH at the pending of escrow-—ONLY I CONTROL THE ESCROW—and I want up to 180 days escrow.
THEY SAY “ IT ISN’T WORTH $1 MILLION.”
I tell them-—IT IS TO ME.....THEY HANG UP
When I win the Lottery & I have FU $$$ and can go wherever I want, THE PRICE will still be over $400,000. THIS is over 5 acres & a turn key horse operation. 12 separate horse enclosures-—Perimeter fencing-—2 gates==32’wide each—OVER 2 1/2 miles of HOT WIRE. Took almost 92 straight days to install-—4 of us—EVERY SINGLE DAY. 226 T-posts alone. OVER 160 wood posts. OVER 600 bags of dry 60# cement in post holes etc. LOTS OF LABOR & MATERIALS. Would cost over 2 X now.
