."We can get you so much more for your home than what the other Realtors you're interviewing are saying." So, that would most likely not be true. Why? If we do our job and market the home correctly, it should sell for any price we say it is right? Wrong. It will reach more buyers because of our marketing, which will get you more offers, now that is true. And when there are more offers, there's a higher chance of a possible bidding war, which can get you more for your home sale, that is a fact.

We're not going to tell you your home is worth more than we think it is just to get you to hire us and have your home sit on the market not selling. Then we have to have those price drop discussions with you that we don't like to do and you don't like to hear it.

What we are going to do is be honest with you all the way. If we tell you our opinion of the price, even get an appraisal done for more security and you still want to list your home higher, we will tell you what most likely will happen if that special buyer doesn't come along - going to sooner or later have to have a price drop or more.

Our business is to sell your home, not to list your home. Our goal is to get you the most money possible out of your sale, whether on the buying or selling side, and we're really good at this. Have we lost listings because of our honesty? You bet. Have we walked away from homeowners wanting to over list knowing it won't sell? Absolutely. That's better than losing the listing in the long run after the home expires off market un sold, leaving the seller not happy at all. We'd rather turn you down then let you down later.
