You Have Everything to Lose by Aiming High

"If you 're looking for someone to help price your home and negotiate for you and to guide you on common market practices, then you want a full-service agent. The commission you pay is for their expertise and negotiation skills, and for guiding you through the biggest transaction of your life. You only sell a home every seven years and you can't possibly know everything you need to know to get yourself the best deal. So you bring in a realtor in because it's something she does every day of her life, and she can help you squeeze the most dollar value for your home. That's why you hire a realtor.""You should listen to her, too, and not argue with everything she says."

You Have Everything to Lose by Aiming High

"Don't dare overprice in this market, "Sellers often think they need to price their home high so they have wiggle room in a negotiation. There's no law that says you need to negotiate. You can set a price and stay firm."

When pricing your home, use round numbers to reach the broadest audience.  if you list your house at , 505,000 and not $499,999 you will miss buyers who are searching up to $500,000  It sounds obvious, but it's a common mistake.

 "The first 30 days on the market are crucial because people want to look at new listings first, and that's when your listing gets the most attention. People think they have nothing to lose by aiming high at the beginning; they think they can drop the price if they don't get a lot of showings initially. But they've wasted the peak marketing period by listing at the wrong price. The longer you're on the market, the less likely you are to sell."
