Do you want the truth or do you want lies?

Talk about a fail.

I met these sellers after their first listing sat for 162 days with reductions from $1.915 to $1.790m and failed.

They then re listed at 1.725M. At my meeting in between those events, I told them the truth: the price was too high and the home would probably clear between 1.575m-1.625m.

The sellers blamed everything but price:

“The staging sucked.”

“The agent didn’t have enough open houses.”

When they told me $1.6m was “way too low” and asked me to cut my fee, I walked out.

They own the home outright but have about $4,000 per month in carry. Over 13 months (March 2025-April 2026), that is roughly $52,000 burned just holding the property.

It’s vacant. Yes, vacant.

It started at $1.915M and is now offered at $1.649M, and it has been sitting again, a second time, for over 90 days.

So in just over a year, two agents and one stubborn pricing strategy have combined to waste at least $52,000 in carry, and you can argue they’ve chased the market down by roughly $265,000 in price, for a total impact north of $315,000.

$315,000!

And that’s still not the worst part. The home is now tainted.

Buyers whisper, “What’s wrong with it?”

Agents say, “Throw in a way back bid, maybe they’ll take it.”

Meanwhile, I can almost guarantee the sellers are saying, “Realtors suck.”

Well, yea, I bet some do.

I’m going to show the actual MLS history so you can see this play out in black and white, the original list price, the days on market, every reduction, and where it’s stuck today.

Those MLS pages tell the whole story: when you chase the market instead of pricing for it, the market punishes you slowly and expensively.

If you’re even thinking of about having a thought about broaching the subject of a sale with your other, please don’t let this be you.

Before you list, sit down with me, let’s go through the MLS data together, PUT TOGETHER A PLAN, price it right the first time, and keep your home from turning into that “what’s wrong with it?” listing.

Please don’t let a fast talker, commonly known as Captain Headshot, buy your listing.

Because the Captain is not protecting your equity.

If you want straight talk, and not buying listing bullshit, call me.
