In reading through posts today, I saw one with the subject of Price it Right (good post, Tish Lloyd). It reminded me of the instructor in my real estate classes who used to say all the time:
Kathy Streib
Delray Beach, FL
Gabe Sanders
Stuart, FL
Linda Metallo DiBenardo
Lockport, IL
Lorinda Ward
Norfolk, VA
Susan Emo
Kingston, ON
Thank you so much, Susan! I think about this every time I go on a listing appointment.
Totally agree, Jon. That's why there are so many of us . . . some Realtors won't :)
Linda - gorgeous photo!
Mimi, great advice. I just started working with my friend who wants to sell her house and she is already talking about how much she has to get from the sale. I am trying to come up with a polite way to bring her down to earth and price her home right.
Love it Mimi. All other faults of a home, condition, location, smell, etc. can be overcome by pricing it correctly.
Elizabeth - I HATE the words "I NEED this much to sell my house." How much they NEED can't figure into the equation.
Pam - and amen and amen ;)
Marte - I thought surely he must be wrong when he first said it. But years and years of experience have certainly proven it to be fact.
Eric - ALMOST ;)
Alison - there's so much emotion involved in the price. Yep, four year degree in psychology sure would help
Gabe - but it often causes some difficult discussions
Joe - you stated it so well!
Larry and Sheila - hmmmmm . . . interesting concept . . . for the Buyer it's location, location, location. For the Seller, it's price, price, price :)
Mimi- love it that it's so simple!! I tell my clients if their home is not priced correctly then staging is only going to take them so far... Price is king.
