Everyone is a real estate expert!

Your house is listed for sale with a REALTOR®. Your neighbor down the street tells you that it is priced way too low and you should certainly be able to get more money than that for it. Or you just sold your house and your brother is telling you that it sold for too little. Sound familiar? When it comes to real estate, everyone has an opinion – from your dentist to your best friend. The reality of it though, is you need to trust what your REALTOR® says. After all, you hired her/him for her/his experience and knowledge of the market. She/he researched the properties sold, the current competition, and understands what the market is doing. Your REALTOR® is your best source of information regarding the sale of your house or land. While it is nice to think that your house is worth more money because your neighbor says so, it is market conditions that really set the value. Family and friends may have good intentions, but they usually don’t have the professional experience to support their opinions.

Give me a call if you would like to work with a REALTOR® that you could trust to give you the best real estate advice available. 603-526-4116; donna@donnaforest.com.
