I have a problem with the Real Estate "agents" in My Town that continue to take, usually drastically, OVERPRICED listings!  Notice: I used the term "agents" for those of you that practice taking over-priced listings.  There are many other terms I'd prefer to use.  I consider the rest of us to be Consultants & Realtors.  I'm calling you out, because you know who you are.  Actually, what's even scarier is that maybe you don't know who you are.  I DO!  Don't you know that you have a responsibility to the community to do the research & educate?  It's interesting to see a listing come on the market, OVERPRICED, that I decided not to take.  That's right, I decided not to take some of these listings after speaking with the unrealistic "would-be" sellers.  The problem is that one of these "agents" was lurking in the bushes waiting to pounce.  The only bit of advice that I can offer to these "over-pricers" is to learn how to have respect for our community, for your business, and for the rest of us that are busting our asses to HELP this community.  What's the downside of turning down a listing that you know will sit on the market for 100, 200, 300, etc days?  Or, is it that you don't have the sense to know that?  Do you have too much money and just want to market a home til the cows come home?

Do you have too much time on your hands?

  

Or, are you just uneducated?  That could just be it!

Hi Corey,

Well said! This is a GREAT Post! Makes me wonder where are the comments? Go figure. I am with you though, I don't get why agents do this either. Sooner or later it does affect us all and the communities negatively. I think the worse damage is left in the minds of sellers who go away with the impression that none of us know what we are doing, or that in the end we cost them a ton of money that they should have gotten.

Thank You kindly for the comments, Richard.  Also, to Jo.  The views of this particular post are up there though.  It;s been so long since I've been back to this post that I just now realized that it must take a brain surgeon to use proper grammar in the title.  I think I'll leave it though.  Best wishes!
