I've just sold my house. The first agent that I called in said that he could sell my house for 150k less than what I knew it was worth. He didn't know the area. I didn't list with him he didn't have the customer base for the sale. The second was very pushy and priced it 50k to low with out seeing the house. ( Town council women). I knew what the home would fetch and I missed it by 25k that I could have held out for but my wife was very stressed over the open houses and with MS patients it's best to keep them calm.


I sold it. I showed the house to the buyer. During the time negotiating she took over. I did show the house to a few agents that had brought people over and the good ones took notes.

The real estate agent listed it. She did her job well and will get a nice check.

I know that I can do this job and I'm thinking of it as well. I've looked at 40 open houses in 3 months and I've met a few good agent. ( She was from an open house that I went to.)

I wish that I had the art of being able to sketch well. There are so many people that lack vision. I was at an open house that was priced well within my reach...but was a dog. It needed 100k in work and would have been a great home. Joanna my wife couldn't see it.



I did get a flier from an agent that held a Engineer's degree He also has a contractor that works with him! very smart.
