Yeah she stalked my parents on Cleveland park. They got a bad vibe from her and hired someone else.

1. House sat for three weeks because WE (the owners) determine what we are willing to let the house go for. We LOVE our house. We LOVE being on Reno and we LOVE our neighborhood. We have soundproof windows and almost never hear any noise from Reno. We also have never had any break ins, shady people walking around our house or stolen packages, unlike our neighbors on “quiet” streets. We were willing to give up our beautiful house and relocate if the sale price made it worthwhile. We had multiple offers over list price that we rejected and ultimately decided that we love our house too much to give it away.

2. For those of you complaining about the size versus price: you obviously have different priorities. The reality is that you cannot get a large, (non-builder-grade) remodeled house, with a completely private rental unit, driveway with space for two SUVs, storage, fenced patio, and new roof in North Cleveland Park under $1.5m. Everyone values things differently. Our house is perfect for our family and we wouldn’t change a thing about it. We have no reason to sell it at a price less than it’s value to us.

3. For inquiring minds: there is nothing wrong with the pipes. We drinks a lot of water. We prefer spring water. And we forgot to cancel our large bi-monthly delivery order while we were out of the house getting it ready to go on the market. The water was delivered just before the house was listed. And also, yes, we ARE and WERE living in the house and certainly not desperate to sell.

4. Marjorie is a great agent. She is tough but she is honest. She doesn’t play games. The market is what the market is. Until a week before we listed, the market was in a ridiculous bidding war frenzy. Market has slowed. This is because interest rates have been rising. This affects buying power.

Not a PP, but a real estate junkie, thus have read all the posts, including this one. I think it's a super cool house, very well done. We were looking in Cleveland Park and your house was on our radar. Love the kitchen. Ultimately, we decided our furniture didn't match the house style and buying new furniture is expensive and a hassle these days with long lead times. But I thought your house was competitively priced. Glad you are staying and we will be neighbors. Sorry for the crummy comments.

Then why not list for the price that you want to get? So obnoxious to do it the way you did, and you are setting yourself up for this kind of bad publicity. No one feels bad for greedy sellers and agents in this market. Get a thicker skin if you want to play games.

I like your house PP. I think people were looking for the problems with it to try to understand why it sat for so long at that price. What was the highest offer you got? I live nearby in Wakefield and curious about the market

I believe most of this except the part about multiple offers over list price. If you had offers, what kind of unrealistic escalation were you looking for? I mean, I think your house is lovely and I too wouldn't mind living on Reno, but were you actually hoping for 1.5? Because that is truly unrealistic, despite the nice renovation. And based on the other house further south on Reno, also still sitting on the market at 1.2 I call b.s.

+1. This. It is insanely frustrating for buyers to offer above list and be told "no thanks, it's not our target sales price." What a waste of time (and pre-inspection $$) for legitimate buyers. I get not wanting to overprice a property, but for goodness sakes, at least list it in the same ballpark as what you would accept. Would you like to be treated that way as a buyer? Sheesh.

How much was the house listed for? I wish I could see the now-removed listing.

Seriously. What a way to waste so many peoples' time with this nonsense.

Rather remarkable.

Kudos to the owners for their courage to say their piece.

Even less inclined to deal with their agent now. This is on her

I think it's absurd that you listed a price, got multiple offers over it, and still somehow decided it was "giving it away" at nearly $1.2M. You wasted everyone's time. And if your house is perfect for you, I'm also curious why you are selling? It's a 2br/1ba house with a rental unit in a less than ideal location. It's lovely, yes, but when you sell, you must remove your emotions from your actions. I hope you have learned a lot from this and next time you don't mess around. Redfin now says it's $1.048 so have fun with that.

Either MDS wrote this herself (unlikely) or honey, you need help. PP here and what you wrote is what us experienced buyers and sellers call games. Listing way below what you'd accept in the first place. Not knowing the market. A smart or honest agent would have saved you the foot traffic and wear and tear on your home during showings, telling you to list closer to your actual desired price or not at all. Now it's official, Marjorie loses money for her clients. And poor older folks who she harasses.
