You have to price your Pinecrest home for sale correctly right from the start to get it sold in a reasonable amount of time.  Your Pinecrest Florida real estate Buyers are out there looking; they know the inventory.  Their agents are checking the MLS constantly looking for new Pinecrest homes for sale.  If your listing matches the Buyer´s search criteria they will be visiting your Pinecrest Florida listing as soon as possible.  To keep your  property from sitting on the market for months and months, right from the start, it has to be ready to show, inside and out, and your listing price has to be correct; you are going to have to sell that listing price three times.

First, you have to sell your listing price to the Pinecrest Florida real estate agents.  If your Pinecrest home for sale is overpriced, the real estate agents will most likely not even show it, why annoy a Pinecrest Florida Buyer by showing him an overpriced listing?  When the listing price is out of the price range the Buyer has asked to see, your listing won´t even show up when searching the MLS.  Even if you think the price is "negotiable", a Buyer will not even be considering your property since you priced yourself right out of the agent´s search results.

Secondly, you have to sell your listing price to the Pinecrest Florida real estate Buyers.  With all the tools available to Buyers on the internet, Buyers have become very educated.  Most Pinecrest Florida real estate Buyers start their home search on the internet looking at Pinecrest homes for sale weeks before contacting an agent. They have a pretty good idea of general home values.  If your Pinecrest Florida real estate is overpriced, why would they want to deal with you when there are so many other Pinecrest homes for sale on the market to choose from?  If you think, well I´ll just test the market at this price and if nothing happens in a few weeks I can come down.  Well guess what; wasting that time probably cost you a Pinecrest Florida real estate Buyer that has been out there looking - and I will gladly demonstrate that to you!

And lastly, you have to sell your Pinecrest Florida real estate price to an appraiser.  Let´s assume you did receive an offer at your high list price; it won´t appraise.  If it doesn´t appraise -  you usually don´t have a sale.  Mortgage companies are not going to lend more than what a Pinecrest home for sale appraised for, and most folks, especially nowadays, will not pay over appraised value.  So at this point your choices are, take your Pinecrest Florida real estate off the market, renegotiate the sales price, or put your Pinecrest home for sale back on the market; though you´ll find yourself in the same boat again.

When a Pinecrest Florida real estate agent, especially one like myself that specialises in the Pinecrest Florida real estate market, discusses with you your Comparable Market Analysis (CMA); please listen - and ask questions.  I tell my homeowners; I would rather have them turn down offers than not receive any offers because they are overpriced!  

So remember, you need to "sell" your listing price three times; to the real estate agents, to the Buyers, and to the appraiser.
