If there is one thing true of my daily life as a real estate agent selling ranch homes in Arlington Heights Illinois it's this. I can always find subjects to write about that are true life.
We are back to talking about over-priced homes in Arlington Heights, whether they are ranches or not, finding the right listing price to attract great buyers and get a quick sale, and why ignoring data might just cost you dearly. Arlington Heights does have it's fair share of ranch homes, they are spread out among the two story homes. It's not that difficult for a good agent to estimate market value, so why do owners ignore the proof and list far too high?
You are lucky to get a buyer in the first month of marketing, a buyer that will put down a hefty proportion of the cost, is well qualified for the finance, can close quickly, can carry their existing house so make the offer non sale contingent. Now you dig your heels in and ignore the fact that the buyers agent has also proved market value. Your Arlington Heights Ranch home works well for the buyers, they liked it enough to make you an offer.
But you are refusing to budge off your emotional platform so the buyer is off to look at other properties. How long are you going to wait to find the buyer has disappeared, lost interest or worse bought another ranch in Arlington Heights?
After all when it comes to relocation buyers they are ready to buy. They have to move but they are never desperate and will not overpay for a ranch home in Arlington Heights when they are working with a good buyers agent. Of course I wonder if you were told about selling your home three times. To the buyer, the buyers agent and then the appraiser?
Many a good working relationship between owner and Realtor goes sour not because anyone did anything wrong but because there was no meeting of minds at the beginning. If you price your Arlington Heights ranch home right at the beginning you should attract buyers and pass the buyers agent and appraiser tests too.

Corinne - Positioning a home properly in today market is so important. Too many sellers are letting their emotions get in the way of pricing their homes correctly in the beginning and end up losing the opportunity of it being shown.
