It is extremely interesting that with so many properties on the market right now, that sellers are still trying to exert pressure vis-a-vis the short listing period.  This isn't the market of two years ago where any hint of being a licensed agent was enough to make a person the epicenter of some transaction or another.  This is this market where homes are sitting around for 100 days or longer.  Not only are they sitting that long, there are hundreds of choices of other properties all out there competing at the same time.  So says the barely out of FSBO mentality, "You can sell my home, and you get 30 days to do it."  Uhhh, but, it will likely take three times that long, or maybe more before all the people that need to see it, filter through and some buyers stick to it by with some offers.  Let me fire up my huge marketing machine, with a 30 day stopwatch.  Ok, but then we get to lower the price on the 5th day, to below market value.  How do you like the short leash?  Are people still walking around with this mindset in your market?
