WHen my agent sent a new listing the other day, I knew right away it was a re-list, with different picture & higher price. So at least for me, those schemes didn’t work.
This is the kind of thing the agent should be pointing out to their clients. If it were my agent, I’d let them make this mistake exactly one time and for that one time, they better have a good explanation.
I just saw another one of these re-listings today as well that had the added bonus of a higher price (and it’d only been on the market a little over 8 months). Definitely seems to be a bit of a new trend. I’m annoyed with seller’s agents who pull this kind of thing, but I’d be downright pissed off at my buyer’s agent if they didn’t advise me of it.
