W hen work i ng w it h sellers, arriving at a list pr ice, wh ich w i l l meet ma rket ac c ept a nc e, i s usually a bit of a chore. JOKE OF THE DAY: On his first listing appointment, t he new Rea ltor d id a great job of presenting comparable sales which i nd ic a t e d t h e s e l le r ’s house should be put on the market between $95,000 and $100,000. However, he didn’t actually mention that during the discussion. As they neared the end of the listing appointment, t he agent a sked t he seller, “Ok, based on the c ompa r a ble s a le s I’ve show n you, what pr ice do you think we should put on you r house ? ” The seller answered, “It should go on the market for $175,000 and I won’t sell it for a dime less.” The agent scratched his head and said, “Well, the comps are all low, but I think you should list it for $225,000 and expect to get somewhere in the range of $250,000.” The seller sat straight up in his chair and said, “Wow! Are you kidding?” The agent repl ied, “Yes, but you started it!” Being prepared to deal with a seller who c a n’t a c c e pt r e a l it y when setting the price is probably one of the most difficult skills to develop
in this business. You don’t want to disappoint them by telling them that their idea of value is totally out of line with the market, so some agents tend to compromise more than they should and take the listing at an unrealistic and unobtainable price. Sellers need to make sure t he y choos e a n a gent w ho’s e duc ate d a bout t he cur rent rea l estate ma rket, not t he one who’s going to tell them everything that they want to hear, like a high asking price not supported by comparables. In today’s real estate market buyers are NOT going to overpay for a home a nd if t hey ne e d f i n a nc i n g , t hei r lender is going to make sure of it by hav ing an appraisal done.
