When you begin to look for or list a home, you are hiring your realtor because you need their knowledge and skills. A real estate agent has education and experience on buying and selling homes and has been licensed in your state to do so. When you enter into a contract with a real estate agent, trust their expertise. Even though you might think your home should be listed for a higher price, if the agent wants to lower the selling price, trust them. They know the market. Many real estate agents find that homeowners who have lived in a home for a long time want to set a higher price on the home because they have emotional ties to the place. Your real estate agent doesn't have an emotional connection to the home, so let him or her give you their unbiased recommendation. It's in their best interest to advise you well.
