Advice for working with unrealistic sellers…

 It is time to be firm and stand by your beliefs.  We don’t do it often enough.  But recently you may have to turn down listings due to unrealistic seller pricing.  It is unfortunate, but you must walk away if the seller will not price their home correctly.  If the house is not prices well, it will not sell in today’s market.  It is our job to educate consumers on what is realistic in today’s market.  It is better to turn a seller down now, rather than let them down later.  You risk your reputation everytime you take an over priced listing.  Plus, you allocate resources to something that will not sell.  Use your resources, your time and money for something that will sell!  Work on getting Sellable listings only in today’s market!
