| Myth 3: You should select the real estate agent who says he/she can get you the highest price.
Truth: No! … Always select an agent on his/her credentials. Market Value is a separate issue.
Overpricing a home to get the listing is the oldest scheme in real estate: ruse the seller and compliment the home to get the listing, then ask for a price reduction 30 days later. You should insist on a written, well-researched, computerized market analysis to determine the realistic amount your property will bear in today’s market and price it accordingly. First, select your real estate agent based on his/her credentials. Then decide on a price. Never select an agent based solely on the price they recommend.
» Myth #4: All I really have to do to sell my property is to put a FOR SALE sign in my yard and an ad in the newspaper.
