I GUARANTEE...

You may know this already, but some sellers NEED to be reminded - THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES when selling your home.

No matter what an agent tells you, there is no guarantee you will get the price you list at (in a buyer's market). If they promise you a certain price (unless it is well below asking) it won't happen. Run away from this "guarantee." You're wasting your time. Sure, it is commonly said that "there's a buyer for every house," but that assumes "if you price it low enough someone will buy it." An ethical, professional agent will NEVER tell you they guarantee a certain price or can promise a certain dollar amount (unless they are planning to buy it for themselves...and that can present other issues, particularly if they tell you the price, rather than you making the decision).

Likewise, if you are working with a home staging professional (which is often a good idea, especially in this competitive market), no matter how good your home looks once it has been "staged" there is no guarantee. Yes, studies show that staged homes generally sell faster and for a higher avergae price on average. But an hnest, ethical stager KNOWS there are no guarantees and will tell you so. Don't be mislead.

Some products and services offer a guarantee. Selling your home at a certain price is not one of them.
