Setting the right asking price is crucial.  This is a time proven fact about selling a home.  I have never underpriced a home with this tacti in mind.  It can back fire and help you lose credibility with alot of folks.  Remember, buyers will conduct their own comparative market analysis, so being discerning when setting the price is essential.  I have heard this before and I am not sure if it is myth or fiction.  I go with setting the right asking price is crucial.  Overpricing can deter potential buyers, while underpricing can spark competitive bidding.Let's work together to set a realistic price that maximizes your home's value.#thehelpfulagent #home #houseexpert #house #listreports #homeowner #realestate #realestateagent #realtor #hometips
