[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are exhausted dealing with the typical area realtor who lacks business acumen and quite frankly, is only in the business because it is easy money in this area. We are in a situation where we have a home that is perfectly staged, great shape, etc, (and we have heard this from several realtors and consumers) however......we are currently dealing with a short-term road expansion behind us. Ultimately, this road expansion is going to be great for neighborhood convenience and will ultimately increase the privacy of our home once all construction is completed. It will increase the value of our home significantly (i.e. within the next two years) and we are looking for a realtor who can market that rather than just suggesting we should lower our home to way below market value in order to sell it quickly (and they still come out with a hefty commission). We agree that our home price should be reduced a bit due to the inconvenience of the expansion, but we have realtors suggesting huge drops that take us way below comps. Has anyone been in a similar situation? We have had several realtors in our home as well as potential buyers. Everyone who has been in the home raves about it......gorgeous, perfectly staged, will sell really quickly......you name it, we have heard it. The only concern is the road construction behind our backyard.

Welcome any recommendations along with a brief description of the situation this person dealt with leading to your recommendation.

It will increase the privacy of your home when road expansion is complete? How would that happen?

Is this the expansion of I-66, and they are putting up high concrete walls that will shield your house from the highway noise?

If that's what it is, or something similar, then if I were you I would wait until the work is done. If you think it will improve things then you're better off showing potential buyers rather than telling.

As for the professionalism of real estate agents, there are good ones and bad ones, but it's not a profession like medicine, law. It's commission sales.
