Went went wrong? I didn't get the listing.


Last summer I went on a listing presentation via a referral from a very satisfied client.  We had a good session.  I showed the comparable sold properties and suggested touch up work to maximize sale price.  We kept in touch while the touch ups were being taken care of.  Then last week I see that they listed with another agent.

What went wrong?

I doubled checked the comps, I'm right on the money.  I look again at the listing price.  It's $590,000, $80,000 over my estimate.  So, they overpriced the property.  

Now I feel better, I did nothing wrong.  This prompted me to write a post on pricing the property right.  

Now I'll print this for my next newsletter, so when you have lemons, make lemon-aid.

Kenneth, that's the right attitude! You don't want them until they have learned that lesson!

I can't count the number of listings I lost to the "big spender."  Or should I say the biggest loser?
