"I Love You But...3 other Realtors Said...." Confessed the Desperate Seller
  We thought...that the realtors who had not "shifted" were gone...or nearly extinct...and gone on to pursue other professions. That they had learned, through more trial and error that "buying a listing" does not work. You cannot make money....sell homes, keep or attract clients and customers when you over price a home to get the listing...it just does not work....
   We looked at a house the other day....blocks from the home I grew up in...I know the neighborhood...and still know many of the neighbors. The man had gotten the house back in a divorce. His now ex-wife had been a hoarder and had also trashed the property and not maintained it...what a combination !  Sooooo he spent weeks, cleaning out dumpster loads, painting, re-this and thating and asked us to come over and tell him the list price. For all he had done...there was sooo much more to do...the kitchen was a complete do-over just to begin to bring it into this century,,,the brown sink a in the half bath and narrow dark woodwork...huge gold veined mirror strips on the wall screamed of days gone by...decorating gone bad. The garage and basement were spotless...his priorities, not necessarily a buyer priority.
