The loss incurred by under pricing would have helped in paying off the agent’s commission. Yet the worried sellers get carried away and may falter in pricing it right which may turn away the buyers. At the negotiating table, while bargaining, do not hang on to the upward price. But is the market quite so? Can anyone make quick money by investing in real estate?
