Sometimes the truth hurts. Does sugar-coating help the person doling out the bad news, or does it help the one receiving the news? A little of both I think. Nobody likes to be mean...
Telling someone that their house is not nearly worth what they hope it to be really sucks. I hate doing it, but it is for the best because to tell them otherwise would result in the following:
- Me listing a home for sale without having confidence in the asking price
- Me spending money on advertising, time, gas, etc. for a home that is unrealistically priced
- The sellers making great efforts to prepare their home for sale, (paint, trim, re-carpeting a room, taking down shelves, etc) at a price that is too high
- The sellers having all their hopes and dreams based upon obtaining a certain dollar amount for their home which won't happen.
Ugh, not fun.
