Realtor. They hired me, and I sold it in 98 days for 100% of the asking price. Case Study #8: Home was for sale for 6 months with another Realtor. The seller hired me, and I sold it in 81 days for 99.5% of the asking price. Case Study #9: Home was for sale for 6 months with another Realtor. They hired me, and I sold it in 20 days for $10,000 above the asking price. Case Study #10: Home was for sale for 12 months with two other Realtors. The sellers hired me, and I sold it in 8 days for 98.3% of the asking price. This was an interesting sale. The sellers had been trying to sell the home for a year and really struggled at it. The reason the home wasn’t selling was not because of the price. (The home was absolutely worth what the sellers were asking for.) BUT, there was a minor complication. The neighborhood where the home was located was considering some major upgrades. They were considering assessing everyone in the neighborhood for $7,000 to $8,000 each to cover the cost. The buyers would look at the house and get cold feet because of the pending assessment. Most of the buyers would say something like, “I’ll buy your house, but I want an $8,000 discount on the price because of the special assessment.” The sellers would reply, “I’m glad to sell you my house, but I am not going to discount $8,000 because we think the special assessment is not going to go through.”
