Passing on Overpriced Listings
Everyone knows this famous passage from The Serenity Prayer:
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
the courage to change the things I can;
and the wisdom to know the difference.”–Reinhold Niebuhr
Here’s my version for listing agents (Realtors representing home sellers):
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the listings I can sell;
the courage to refuse the listings I cannot;
and the wisdom to know the difference.–Ross Kaplan
So what makes a listing unsellable?
Ultimately, just one thing: price.
Everything else — condition, curb appeal, location, floor plan, etc. — can be overcome if a home is sufficiently discounted.
