Their heads were so far up...
Most every agent has taken an overpriced listing at least one time. I admit to doing just that as a newbie, after meeting a couple who seemed very sincere about selling their house here in southern Utah.
I made some mistakes, the biggest one was agreeing to the elevated price. Once spending money on photography, marketing and advertising, open houses, we got a good offer. They laughed at it!
They would not come down one bit. Overpriced and lack of motivation are two deterrents in getting a property sold. Some homeowners want to test the real estate market to garner an unrealistic price.
After realizing they had no intentions of negotiating, I came to the conclusion that besides having the listing, I was spending time and money on a property that won't sell because of the sellers lofty ideas.
I politely refused to renew because their heads were so far up into the topmost atmosphere, it was impossible to reach them.
