7Should I price my home higher to leave room for negotiations?
Many sellers believe they should price their home higher to leave room for negotiations on low ball offers, But top real estate professionals like myself suggest a well priced home will sell quickly and will sell for close to the listing price. There is no need to leave room for negotiations, as today home buyers are very well educated .A seller who prices their home high to leave room for negotiations can actually be costing themselves more money than if they priced it right to start with.

2How long has the property been on the market?
If the house has been on the market a long time (more than three months), ask the agent why they think it isn’t selling. Are there problems that other people have realised that you haven’t? Is it just overpriced? A long time on the market might mean that the seller would accept a lower price.

If they are moving out after a short period, it is important to find out why. (Relocation for employment)
