SD Realtor: You can lead a horse to water but (you know the rest of the story)……….
Any real estate agent who takes that listing will live to regret the decision because the seller is too ignorant and emotionally caught up in the fantasy of what his property is worth to deal with the reality of today’s changing real estate market. Once it is listed, it will simply sit and sit and sit and when he doesn’t get any offers, he will blame the agent. Good on you for not taking the listing on his terms.
