This is a shady tactic referred to as “buying the listing”. Agents do this with the goal of luring the seller in with a much higher selling price than other competing agents. Then once the agent has the signed listing agreement, they will suggest that you lower the listing price after a few weeks of your home not selling. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, you’ve just lost a lot of valuable time on the market. Even worse, a potential buyer might see how long your house has been on the market and offer less than what they were going to offer originally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re a homeowner looking to sell your Orlando home, don’t fall for this trap. Talk to several real estate agents in Orlando and get property valuations from all of them.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n If one of them suggests a listing price ten thousand dollars higher than the rest, then you can be sure that something’s wrong. You would be wise to only work with an agent that can show you up-to-date real estate statistics and good comparables for your home.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Interviewing An Agent Who Promises A Much Higher Price<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Real Estate in Orlando is a very competitive business and unfortunately some agents have no problem resorting to using dishonest tactics to try and get an edge on their competition. These types of realtors usually have very short careers in real estate because it doesn’t take long for their fraudulent ways to be found out. Once the cat is out of the bag it’s usually only a matter of time before they drop out of real estate all together.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"\/](\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/86pzanQGW7WAQWEv23\/giphy.gif\")
