and other marketing avenues. • The agent held an open house.
Yet the agent’s efforts failed to attract a buyer. John’s agent suggested he adjust the price. After all, most of the similar homes in the area were priced around $400,000 to $450,000. He recommended dropping the price to $450,000. John owned one of the nicest homes in the area and his home had many features the other homes didn’t have. John knew this. He was reluctant to reduce the price.
John hired another agent, who also failed to sell the home and also offered the same “advice”: Reduce the price.
At this point, John had two options:
• Option #1: Drop the price. Most of the agents he talked to told him his home was not worth what he wanted. They told him he should just “be reasonable” and drop the price to $450,000. • Option #2: Hire an agent who could sell the home for what it was actually worth. This agent’s marketing would need to get a buyer so excited about the home that they would be willing to pay full price. Fortunately for John, he picked Option #2. He contacted an agent who specialized in selling homes other agents could not sell.
