There are so few Realtors that really try to educate their clients. I think that is some of the reason that we've gotten into the housing mess in the first place. If more Realtors educated their clients about price, the selling process, and loans and loan structure, maybe things would be different. Thanks for the comment. You have some great points Ro.

I also posted a blog back in April, http://blogtherockies.com/2008/04/24/educating-sellers-in-a-down-market/ Just trying to educate sellers in a down market. I have made some progress and many of my listings are selling in a short tme and for good prices. It's all about positioning and creating an energy price. If sellers would just think of their home as a commodity and not a product, that would help. You can associate home pricing to the price of Stock, 5 years ago Stock XYZ was selling for $150/share but in today's market it's only selling for $75/share, do you think you could get $150 a share today just because that's what it was 5 years ago?? Absolutely not, the market determines the price. Ben you’ve made some terrific points, If only our sellers would heed your advise. I also posted a blog back in April,

I especially like how you included graphs to really drive this point home. I'm a big believer in that first 2 to 4 weeks as the best "window" to get your home sold. Overprice your home even for just 2 weeks, and you'll miss that window. Great post! I especially like how you included graphs to really drive this point home.
