Dear Mr and Mrs. Listing Agent,

STOP MAKING MY BUYERS PUT IN LOW-BALL OFFERS!!! How is it your fault you ask? Well let's see, all of my clients get my newsletter every month that shows what has sold in my market because I want them to be informed and educated when ready to put in an offer. And guess what? They just saw the property that you had listed for $4,950,000 just sold for $3,000,000. And they also saw that the property you had listed for $725,000 sold for $410,000.

So of course when they are out with me and see a property listed for $500,000 they now think a starting offer of $250,000 isn't unreasonable based on what has sold. So please do me a favor; either educate yourself and stop taking overpriced listings only to sell them in house at a deep discount (not to mention doing your sellers a disservice by not allowing them to get potential offers that would be higher because people are scared of the listing price) or after realizing a list price is too high, admit the mistake and lower the price so your sellers get what they deserve!

And please help STOP MAKING MY BUYERS PUT IN LOW OFFERS!
