I'm not trying to convince you that it's $14,000 more work, but it sure as shiz is more work.
I don't think there's any more work in selling a more expensive home from the realtor's perspective. For one, the paperwork would be exactly the same (it's not like you fill out different forms after houses hit $700k or a million). I suppose it could sit on the market longer, but that doesn't equate to any work for the realtor.

Sounds reasonable.
