Not every agent who appraises your home high is doing you a favour. đŠ
Yes, there are real factors outside anyoneâs control that move price. War. Fuel costs. Interest rates. The market shifts and nobody can stop that.
But then thereâs another kind of agent. The kind whose only strategy is to tell you a number you want to hear â just to win the listing.
Before you sign with anyone, ask them one question:
âHow exactly do you plan on getting me that price?â
If they canât back it up with real comparable sales, a genuine marketing strategy, and a track record, youâre not being appraised. Youâre being sold a fantasy.
Old-school agents used to get away with this before technology gave vendors the tools to check the numbers themselves. Those days are over.
Do your homework. Ask the hard questions. Your equity deserves better than a guess.
