Were In This Together
Our Shared Objectives
You, your real estate agent and Edina Realty all share
the same goals:
1. To get your home soId at the best
possibIe price
2. To have your transaction proceed
punctuaIIy and cIose successfuIIy
Don't "Price High and SeII Low"
Avoid starting with an infated price, thinking you can
reduce it later. t might be too late to capture the interest
of buyers who are focusing on new listings.
Buyers are WeII-Informed
Keep in mind buyers now have more informational tools
than ever when shopping for a home. They can quickly
determine if a home is priced higher than the market
commands. f so, they move on to the next property
