I recently posted a blog on my company website called House On Fire. It speaks about how sellers must make trade-offs between price, the condition of their home and how quickly they need to sell.  Everyone wants top dollar, but can't afford to wait.

Even if you choose to lower your price there is not guarantee that it will sell quickly. 

Are sellers better-off trying For Sale by Owner or choosing a Realtor to help them price their home, stage their home and market their home.

The economy is tough and the winter is a slower time for home sales anyway.

When dealing with sellers, be a consultant and help them make those trade-offs.
