Time Is Your EnemyA property attracts the most attention, excitement and interest from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed on the market
Improper pricing at the initial listing misses out on this peak interest period and may result in your property languishing on the market
The longer your home is on the market the less it will sell for.
