I can't agree more. I know the type. My house is worth 20% more because I am me- lol
I don't do that. And I agree with the rest of what you said. I called another realtor after my post
and like me they were in the same exact ballpark I was and I said nothing prior. She brought comps from actual houses in my area and not run down foreclosures that required a $100K just to get livable.
So I signed the contract and I have room to play if someone wants a deal. The other guy left nothing on the table
at all. So I'm happy and they set the commission upfront and I was fine with that and even though like new I was
game with offering a warranty and it was peanuts. I also presented a list with everything that was done and all the papers and important information. We even set a fireside sale price on the furniture if they want it.
So its a done deal.

Best bet...have multiple realtors evaluate what you should sell it for. If they are all ballpark..then id say that you are the one who isnt realistic or understand the market.
Not all renovations and upgrades increase your homes worth.
