We're trying our best for them and generally they don't want to listen to where they market is ...they want you to "Just try and find that maricle buyer". For those sellers, that don't want to follow advise...let's give them a fair deal, we'll try it for 30 days, and thereafter should it not sale, we get paid a monthly fee to "keep it on the market", Bring on the monthly fee!

There are too many agents still taking listings at a price they absolutely cannot sell! Sellers need to be told "No, that price is too high" more often. Then they would have to come down to market damand or sell it themselves (ha!) or admit that the price is too high and that they don't really expect it to sell. But, they figure since it doesn't cost them to list the property, why not try it? Maybe there should be a listing fee if the property doesn't get any offers in 30 or 60 days? Maybe then they'd be more reasonable and less willing to waste an agent's time and money (advertising it). Thanks for letting me vent! Aloha, Mike RE/MAX Pacific Amen!
