Just something I've always wondered about real estate...
I can give your perspective on my house. Judging by recent sale prices we put house up for 348,000 as a feeler it was on the very high side of what we thought to start and our game plan was to price drop to 345 in a week or so after not much activity.( I assumed no one would even look at it) My house had no upgrades compared to the other house at 349. We then got a conditional offer of 344. Had 3 or so showings the first day.

I personally thought the house was worth 330 at best judged by some of the other ones that had sold and took a long time to sell but Travis came in and told me we should start higher.

Using a realtor got me several thousands more in my pocket even after commissions and everything are paid out
