respected real estate professional. THAT's their JOB and they've probably sold a great many more properties than you, right?
Hiring a Realtor from Highest-Price Suggestion
Choosing a real estate agent simply because they suggested a higher price for your home than other agents is not in your best interest. A good Realtor, one that you will want to place your trust, will know more about the market for your home than you do. Pick an agent who can provide you with honesty and real numbers and solid marketing plans. The person you choose to sell your home should be knowledgeable in the local area statistical data, trustworthy, and quick to answer questions or concerns regarding the entire selling process. Avoid this mistake by interviewing several agents, and selecting the one who offers sales data and a strategic listing price, not the highest price and one that resonates with you and your way of going. You are seeking "professional guidance", don't forget to listen.
Subjective Pricing
Selling your home is a business transaction between a qualified buyer and yourself. If you have enjoyed living in your home for years but have decided to move on, don’t let emotional attachments to the home affect how you price it. The most objective price will come from the CMA provided by your real estate agent. (don't forget, a buyer's agent will create a buyer's cma, likewise, to help them make an informed purchase offer.) Memorable moments spent in your home are priceless, but they do not add to the selling price. It is also unrealistic to add dollars because of the labor spent making the house into the home you desired. By focusing on the CMA results and maintaining a firm, strictly business attitude, you can keep emotions at bay.
