They knew the area!
"We spoke to several agents before choosing Judy and John to sell our house. One of the most important reasons we selected them was we felt they knew the area we were in best and were setting realistic expectations on what we could expect to get for our house. We followed their advice on preparing our house and setting the sell price where they recommended. With the housing market seeming to be slow right now we expected it would be several months before we would get an offer, so we were excited to have a contract within 30 days of listing and having the sale of the house finalized shortly thereafter. It was such a smooth experience with Judy and John keeping us informed the entire time. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone."

Accepting An Offer >Negotiating Factors
Negotiations for the sale of a home can be affected by emotional factors. For example, it is easy to be offended by someone who is making an offer on your property. Even if the buyers love your house, they are trying to negotiate the best possible price and terms. They probably will not let you know how much they want your home until they have negotiated a purchase agreement.
Buyers almost never write offers that please the sellers entirely. Offers and counter offers may be traded back and forth over days or weeks. Terms of the sale will be discussed and deadlines will be set. When there is finally a meeting of the minds, both sides may feel relieved but exhausted by the process. One of a real estate agent's most important jobs is to act as the intermediary during such negotiations. With your agents knowledge of financing, negotiation procedures, and the tax laws affecting real estate sales, agents come up with creative solutions to the challenges that may arise.
