Not usually. But homeowners don't usually set the price themselves. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, technically they can. But a _realtor_ is in their ear telling them MORE MORE MORE.
- mlhpdx 4mo agoof course they are. what else could they possibly do? pressure you into selling for a little less? get sued for not getting the seller the best price? also, they don’t get paid if something doesn’t sell for being overpriced. it’s a market system.
- triceratops 4mo ago> get sued for not getting the seller the best price? Are they legally required to do that? How would you even prove it was due to them?
- triceratops 4mo agoActually realtors egg on buyers to offer more more more. And sellers to reduce asking prices. Whatever makes the sale happen quicker.
- TheOtherHobbes 4mo agoI've had "Amazing, yes, no trouble, we'll sell this quickly" followed by "Not moving, try dropping the price by 20%" a month later. Realtors negotiate for themselves, not for either buyers or sellers. I did have one who dropped their commission a little to close a sale, but that's not a common experience. (And they still did very well out of it.)
- SoftTalker 4mo agoA good realtor should help the seller set a realistic price. Because if the house doesn't appraise for the selling price or more, the deal will fall apart before closing.
