Your home could go "back on the market."
Once your Utah County home has fallen out of escrow or sits
on the market awhile, it is harder to get a good offer.
Potential buyers will think you might be getting desperate,
so they will make lower offers. By overpricing your home in
the beginning, you could actually end up settling for a
lower price than you would have normally received.
If you start out with a sales price that is too high, there
is a high likelihood you interviewed other agents. They
didn't get the listing, of course. They got "aced out" by
someone telling you what you wanted to hear.
If your listing agent routinely engages in "buying"
listings, he has probably aced out scores of other agents in
the same way. Being human, Realtors in Utah County talk to
each other. If they don’t like your listing agent, not as
many of them will be showing your home. Reputation is
actually very important in this business.
In short, you may have ended up with an Utah County Realtor
who was good at selling you, but not good at selling your
house. And you’re going to pay them a commission for it.
This rewards negative behavior. It is human nature for you
to want the highest price for your home. However, when you
choose the Real Estate agent who promises what you want to
hear, it often leads to stress and frustration. Most of the
time, it will take you longer to sell your home. Possibly,
you will end up selling at a lower price instead. Or maybe
as a result of reading this article, you will choose one of
the "good" Realtors in the first place.
