Something else to think about it the appeal of the home. One of the guys in our office has a gerogous ouse he's listed. Problem is it's done in very nice Japaneese decor. Now it looks beautiful, but it doesn't appeal to many people. He finally convinced them that if they want to unload the home, they need to pait. I'll keep you posted. Sometimes, that can be an issue as well.
As far as some greedy agents, it really is sad, but money drives them. All I can say is the ones that are working tward their clients needs and desires will be the sucessful one in the end...

The folks painted the home last Monday, and had 2 offers on it by the end of the weekend. SO decor is something you may think about...
