Being green ? Only the coming pasture is greener

In my first blog I commented on how it was tough in the begining. Well, that itself is tough enough . Tougher yet is getting sellers to understand that the house they are selling in todays market is not going to bring what their neighbors house brought last year.Everyone thinks what they have is worth more than the next guy, and sometimes it is. Most times it is not. Whats a new agent that is just wanting to do the right thing and price the house right to sell so that his job is complete to do ? Turn down a listing ? It is hard to do that due to there being some other agent that will take the listing just to get it. And they will lock it up and waste their clients valuable time and get their hopes up. In this market, you think the right thing to do is to tie up as many listing as you can so that one will go. That is the worst thing that can happen. We are stuck in a tough market with the inflated prices and the days on market getting higher and higher all of the time. The best you can do is be honest with folks and take the ones whos trust you earn and understand you are truly looking out ofr them by being the one to make the right decision. It will shift one day, I will be around to see it.
