Maybe so, or they didn't market it properly. Many agents are actually 'afraid' to tell sellers a realistic price. Usually they have not been in the profession long enough to be able to get that across to folks, and they are afraid of losing the listing. Well, duh,
if it doesn't sell, they've lost the listing anyways, and also lost a lot of time and effort and if they had good buyers, they lost those buyers who bought something else. You have to have enough confidence to tell sellers the straight scoop, and price it to sell based on: price, location, condition.
Best wishes, get an agent who is (a) a native of the area, or (b) has been living here for a long time and has sold a large volume of property year after year. Let us know how things go.
