Lower the price of your overpriced Taj Majal house. You are selling to a buyer, NOT the realtor..

Your priorities are screwed up. Take your emotions out of this...its a business transaction.

Oh no? Look at the history of my posts and how I've been beating the same drum since '07 about where the market was heading. (about pricing ahead of the curve and telling sellers to take the emotions out of the deal)

But we continually have sellers who are delusional and think their POS Taj Mahal is worth more than it really is....



Which is more effective:

Having a very aggressive price on a home

A bonus to a realtor....


I rest my case.

Since when should a couple of petty incidentals like that stop someone from blabbering on?

Price.
Every day a property sits in a declining market, the seller loses more money.

Yes, but a small mind will create a false dilemma and try to make the two points mutually exclusive.

If one was aggressive, one might ask...
Which is most effective:
A very aggressive price and a Buyers Agent Bonus
or
A very aggressive price,
or
A Buyers Agent Bonus?

Likely it is the first, a combination of approaches.

(Disclaimer: I have never collected a bonus, or paid a bonus. I just don't like price-fixing regardless of the motivation of the market manipulator who is behind it.)
