Anyway…
The starting price/CMA was $534,900.
Offer at $450,000 declined at agents suggestion.
Cut to $499,000.
Cut to $469,000. Getting good showings, but no offer as yet.
I come in to take photos. Agent suggests a fire sale open house price of $449,000.
Offer accepted the day after I finish shooting, before photos are uploaded to the MLS.
Time passes until closing day…
Final sales price revealed on MLS… $430,000.
Are you FLUFFY BUNNIES kidding me?!? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot…
So the listing agents CMA was only 24.4% off the final sales price. Awesome.
The agent suggested turning down a $450,000 offer but the sellers end up having to take a $430,000. Again awesome.
I know this is all basically none of my business, and I know they just wanted the transaction over, but I’m upset that my photos didn’t get the chance to save them a suitcase of money on the sale price.
Oh and the zestimate… last time I checked it was $473,000 or something. I would have stayed priced at $469,000 and tried the photos.
FINAL SCORE
Zillow 1 — Realtor Slime 0
Maybe we should start trusting the software a little more…
