Expect calls from lying real estate agents trying to weasel their way into your home to steal away your listing. Failure to see through their lies may result in hiring a real estate agent that you will not be happy with.

The deceptive practice of inflating the list price is effective because the client wants to hear that their house is worth a high price. Bad agents are more than eager to feed into this delusion. Good agents base their suggested list prices on real conditions so they will be lower than an inflated price. If you want to get the most for your house, and everybody does, you’d naturally pick the real estate agent with the inflated price. Now you’re falling victim to the Inflatable Agent’s trap. |
