Hello Ty,

Some timesthey call it buying a listing. I spoke with an agent recently who told me they were taking a listing for 100s of thousands more than they thought it was worth to get buyers. WRONG. Not a good idea. But some agents will do this to get buyers. My advice is to work with a buyer's agent that can determine the price of property from knowledge and experience and can sway you away from properties that are overpriced buy providing you their incite. If you need an agent in your area let me know.

At the end of the day the buyers/market determines what a home is worth and not the seller or the agent.

Best,
