It is becuase she is good at either finding or creating sellers that are offering their homes at prices that reflect the current market.

So you're saying it's pretty much like everyday in the life of a real estate agent? Good to know...

Nope. Rather, in a tough buyers market it takes exceptional skills to make money. This particular agent is actually relatively well known locally. She is able to strongarm people that really need to, and can, sell into seing it her way or letting them find another agent. Often, once she does get them to a hot listing price, she or one of her apprentices will then buy the house.

I saw a home once (in a good sellers market), list TOO LOW by a very inexperienced agent. An interesting thing happened though and it was not anticipated. There were so many buyers that saw it as a good deal that it generated a bidding war with the result that the home sold for far more than it was worth.

We’re not in that kind of market now.
