I think you are dealing with the wrong agents if that is your feeling. In my experience agent worth their salt have a vested interest in getting accurate pricing on thier listings, which would mean accurate realistic comps, so they will actually sell. Keep in mind a Realtor loses money on every listing until it is sold, and you have the say if you accept the offers you recieve. Even if they list the house $25,000 over market value they would make an extra $750 or so, probably not worh listing it too high. Especially when you factor in all the indirect effects that a expired listing has to both the seller and the agent. If anything I think they would want lower not higher if they were that greedy. Anyway interview a couple agents before you decide on one, and have them each review a CMA with you on the maarket for your home, and their marketing plan to get your home sold. Don't "price" shop. At least that is my advice to you for what it is worth. Try this site out:
