They didn't want to do it at first. "We shouldn't give our house away. Can't we float this price a few more weeks"? After a month on the market the showings had come to a stop. Those initial sign calls from curious prospects ended weeks earlier.
The market had rejected my seller's starting price. No amount of clever advertising in the world will over come a high price. After an examination of the recent solds, I recommended a price reduction. Not "giving the house away", but aligning the price more with market demand.
The offer was only a few short days behind the reduction. Did I mention it was full price? My seller's "big" problem now if finding a place to live in the next 40 days. And that's a good problem to have!
