Want to know the #1 task sellers struggle with? It’s setting the asking price. If you sell without the expertise of a pro, you’re likely to price it too high. That’ll turn away buyers, cause it to sit on the market for longer, and ultimately, may require a price drop. That’s not something you want to happen. Remember, if the price isn’t compelling, it isn’t selling. So, let’s work together to find the pricing sweet spot. #sellyourhouse #expertadvice

And that should set the stage for mortgage rates to follow in the months ahead.
