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.
