Sometimes a great Realtor can be a victim of their own accuracy. (What the hell does she mean by that, you wonder?!) Pricing a home for sale is part science based on fact, part experience, part developed skills and part intuition. When a home is priced right on the money, right at the beginning of being on the market, showcased professionally and marketed aggressively, odds are good that an offer will come in sooner rather than later. Sometimes when this happens, the seller can wonder if the Realtor priced it too low. And, further, it seemed so effortless...is the Realtor charging too much?
The best comparison I've come up with so far is to think about being in the dentist's chair. Imagine your dentist has your mouth forced open with one of those delightful rubber dams wedged in. At this point, would you feel you got more value if they took a long time getting the job done? Maybe you'd really think you got your money's worth if they had to give you another injection of freezing because it was taking so long? Of course not, the more painlessly and quickly they can remedy the situation the better you like it! Imagine the increased delight if they even let you know what they were doing?!
With something as important as your oral health, you'd place your trust in the doctor with the best skills wouldn't you? In matters of great health and financial importance you need the best skillset, not the most drawn out process or the cheapest practitioner.
I'm not comparing Realtors to dentists, but simply making the point that if you have a Realtor with deft enough skills to get your home sold with little fuss and quickly you have picked a great Realtor! Don't hold it against them! A great Realtor is always interested in long term retention of clients and would never be so foolish as to deliberately underprice your home!
There are many ingredients to successfully marketing your home! A top professional makes it look easy. It looks easy because that person knows what they're doing, knows people, knows local market conditions, has a sense of timing, understands encouraging cooperating Realtors, knows how to showcase your home professionally and price accurately. The development of these skills takes time and experience.
Developing a trusted bond with a trustworthy and effective Realtor will be one of the greatest relationships you ever maintain! Not only will your real estate transactions be as lucrative as possible, you will always have an advocate with an eye open for timely offerings that would benefit you! And, imagine your increased delight when they even let you know what they are doing?!
