The reality is fair market value is not something we simply declare or control. It is something the market determines. During this discussion, we unpack: • Why pricing “below fair market value” can create the wrong expectations • The difference between fair market value and appraised value • How language can unintentionally anchor sellers to a number • Why positioning against the competition matters more than chasing a theoretical value • How buyers actually determine value in the marketplace • And why motivation matters just as much as price This is a powerful conversation about pricing strategy, buyer psychology, seller expectations, and communication in a shifting market. If you’re a real estate agent trying to navigate pricing conversations with more confidence and clarity, we are here for you.
