That’s absolutely not the most sought after zip in the DMV.

Georgetown, Kalorama, Mass Heights, Kent in DC all have much higher median home prices and some of the most expensive homes in the area.

What blows my mind is the vindictiveness displayed by OP and her husband. These realtors have done nothing to harm OP, yet, she wants to cancel them and put them out of work.

You'd fit right into the current White House, OP.

The second two have significantly bigger lots and are in franklin park where the new build market is still ok. Those are both tear downs, and $4.5m homes will be built. If OP's house is even smaller than the first one and/or in a less desirable area than franklin park, I don't even think it will sell quickly at $1.4

+1 Especially when you haven’t sold the house yet and tested your theory. What evidence do you have that they’re wrong?

+ doesn't the fact that you are considering renting it until the market improves suggest that perhaps the assessment is no longer correct? Also, that zip may be hot in upper brackets, but the spec market has imploded due to interest rates, tariffs, layoffs, govt uncertainty, etc. The stats on this listing imply teardown. You also seem deluded into thinking 1/2 acre is a lot in mclean. It's not.

Yes, we sold our townhouse three years ago at the height of the bubble and the suggested list prices we received were anywhere from $600K to $675K.

Not a realtor and did a quick search. I don't see any homes with those criteria that have sold or listed for $1.7 most are less than that. My guess is that's not the right price.

2014 is a reno that is over a decade old. That's not new or modern.

Until you sell the house, you don't know who is correct.

You really sound... unwell. Why on earth would you harbor such deep anger about realtors giving you a price you don't agree with? This is a business transaction. Leave emotion at the door. Don't like their approach? There are a million other realtors.

I fear for anyone who interacts with you. Do you always understand disagreements as personal insults? Your behavior is truly disturbing.

Do not mess with the livelihoods of others. These people have not harmed you in any way. It would be cruel and unfair to harm them.

My parents have a SFH on a half acre in Mclean (22101), which, for non locals, is arguably the most sought after zip in the DC area. The house is owned outright. It is absolutely move in ready, and updated with new a kitchen and baths in 2014, but it is 'modest' at 3000sqf, 4 beds, 3.5 baths.

The lowest priced SFH in that zip is 1.8. My sister and I have been interviewing agents to either sell the house now or put it into a rental program until the market improves (spring 26/fall 26, lower rates when the Fed cuts, etc.).

Two of the 5 agents we spoke with tried to persuade us to list the house at 1.2. That's $200,000 BELOW Fairfax County's assessment. The other 3 suggested a list of 1.7- 1.8. We thanked the low ballers and declined their services and they both wrote us emails telling us we were 'ignorant' of the market and would 'NEVER' get 1.7.

The tone was rude, aggressive and unsolicited. It also smelled a lot like misogyny.

My DH wants to put them on blast, broadcast their emails, contact their brokers, slam them on the NVAR website, contact Richmond etc. I want them to suffer consequences too.

Have you ever gone scorched earth on realtors trying to take advantage of you?

If so, how?
