Why Dropping the Price Could Be the Worst Move for Your Home

What do you do when you have been on the market for a while?

How long before you drop the price on your house?

Do you change real estate agent or do you stick it out with the real estate agent you have?

Do you spend more money on advertising your home?

Before you go making changes you need to establish what needs to be changed...

Are you with the right agent?
Are you affected by tougher market conditions?
Are you aware of current sale prices in your area?

Before making a significant change to your selling strategy, it can be useful to have an independent perspective on what is actually happening. Our Home Selling Advice is designed to help sellers assess their agent's advice and make better-informed decisions throughout the sale.

As sellers we all want to achieve the best price we can at the time. For some people it is not necessarily about price but more on what they are going to do when they have sold.

If you ask your agent what you should be doing and you get answers like…. there’s nothing you can do, you just have to wait for the market to pick up or, you need to spend more money advertising it or, and get this one….I don’t know what to do (don’t laugh, I have heard that one personally!) You are not with the right agent!

Irreconcilable differences

If your relationship with your current agent has got to the point where you can’t talk openly because YOU have the feeling that they are no longer working in YOUR best interests, then it is time to change agents. Warning... be careful who you appoint next!

Do not just drop the price of your home

Your real estate agent may be advising you to drop your price but before you do anything YOU need to understand exactly what is happening. Is it the market, is it your property, is it you or is it the agent.

Before accepting a recommendation to reduce your price, independent Home Selling Advice can help you step back and assess whether changing the price is actually the right response.

Not Sure Whether Your Agent's Advice Is Right?

Dropping the price may be the right decision — but it may not be. Before making a change that could cost you thousands, it can be valuable to have an independent perspective on what is really happening.

Client Satisfaction

"Your real estate support was critical to how smoothly this whole process went."

Suzy Ashgrove QLD

I wanted to say a sincere and HUGE thanks to you for your open, honest, frank and fearless advice and guidance over the last couple of days. It has helped me immensely in navigating this complex and often mind-boggling real estate landscape (pun unintended!). I felt really at ease speaking with you and sharing my situation and I really greatly respect your intuition and years experience. It was so refreshing to have this genuinely independent advice and I felt like I finally had someone really listening and in my corner, so to speak. You were generous with your time, you explained things very well, you had incredible insights and patience. I liked your evidence-based approach to the advice and guidance you provided. Most of all I like that in such a short time you got a sense about what was concerning me, as well as what was important to me in terms of how to move forward. I really appreciated having someone to talk to who wasn't trying to sell me something. You're a genuine guy and I appreciate what you are doing! Thank you again. I look forward to our next conversation and I like that you are interested in continuing to support me throughout this process (seems less of an ordeal now).

"Robert's service is an incredible service. The guidance received from Robert made the process of selling that simple, my house was sold one day on the market, with an excellent price. Sounds unbelievable, but this is a sincere and true review. Robert's system to select agents is excellent. Without Robert's assistance, the selling process could not have gone so smoothly. Once the agent was selected (which took only two attempts) the whole process was absolutely seamless and provided excellent results. I would highly recommend Robert for any selling process. Robert is solely dedicated to assisting the seller and it feels very assuring to have that type of professional support/guidance, during the highly daunting process of selling. Many thanks to Robert's service, it should be known to all who sell. Thank you Robert from myself. Maria H."
