Before You Hire a Listing Agent, Ask These 3 Questions!

1️⃣ How will you market my home beyond the MLS?
Great agents have a strategy—social media, email, video, and more.
2️⃣ What’s your pricing strategy for my specific neighborhood?
Not all comps are equal. Look for hyper-local expertise.
3️⃣ How do you handle negotiations and tough buyers?
Your agent isn’t just a messenger—they should protect your equity.

Don’t list your biggest asset with just anyone. Ask smart. List smart.

Real Estate Mythbusters: Pricing Edition

MYTH:
"You should price your home high so you have room to negotiate."
TRUTH:
Overpricing often backfires. 🚫
When a home is priced too high, it tends to sit longer on the market, and the longer a home sits, the more buyers start wondering, "What's wrong with it?"
The result? You may end up having to lower the price multiple times... and could eventually sell for LESS than if you had priced it correctly from the start.
✅ Smart pricing attracts serious buyers FAST.
✅ Correct pricing can even create bidding wars in a hot market!
