I have bought and sold dozens of houses (and currently own seven)...and not one sold for more than asking price.

Right on schedule...with your typical personal attack which adds exactly nothing to the thread. I realize that you don't care for me...nor I for you...but really?

[EMJ]

Why am I not surprised.

Every single one of my personal homes that I've sold - above asking price. In a hot market - thousands, even tens of thousands, over.

I think Daniels remarks are the best in the thread at this point

LOL. I guess you were just unable to figure out the right price asking price.

I never had that problem.

Of course not. You're against profit even when all parties agree. And I'm no real estate investor, btw. I just know the market.

Lol...now asking the wrong price is "knowing the market."

I think you are right...but I hate to let them drive me away with their nonsense. Guys who are all butt hurt over losing some silly argument in PARF always look for opportunities for cheap shots in OT.

Wrong price says who? You're dishonorable and dishonest. Make it up as you go along.

Benefits of living in a desirable market.

Last house I sold the buyer (first time) was being a real dick.

He was getting all kinds of bad / wrong advice from family and one night after his latest nonsense request I looked at the wife and said screw it, I'm pulling the deal. My wife thought I was nuts but went along. Called my attorney and told her to tell the guy to take a hike.

Next day I was heading over to another property we had to do some work. Getting gas, phone rings, new buyer. Deal was done in 20 days for $10K more than last guy.

People who are serious don't quibble and they don't waste time.

Kinda like OP's 7:30 guy. He could have had the car for less but he did not act aggressively enough and it cost him.

No your job was to bait and switch.

This thread is a waste of bandwidth from the very beginning.

If every house you ever sold, sold for more than the asking price...even you should be able to figure that one out.

[EMJ]

So shocking how uninformed you are about things you purport to be an expert in. Most homes in San Francisco, Boston, NY, DC, in the best neighborhoods - over asking price. Regardless of comps - someone will always want to pay more to get what they want. Get a clue.

[fintstone]

Lol.

A business man you are not.

After admitting you underpriced by thousands...and tens of thousands...100% of the time...your opinion on this area doesn't carry much weight. Just sayin'.

IMO (not reflecting specifically on the flawed statement above)
When confronted with an embarrassing spotlight on a person low level of moral standards, they have a couple choices:
1) admit they would screw the other guy and not care
2) admit they need to improve their level of integrity

or the most common:

3) look for a flaw in the other person

This third option placates the feeling of guilt by using the childish school yard taunt "oh yeah, well, you do it too".
