…at an open house where the photos were pretty horrible…
Me: Looks like you could use professional photos.
Agent: Probably. What would you charge for this?
Me: For this size place? $X.
Agent: I know someone who can do it for (50% of X).
Me: Then you should call them! That’s a great price!
Agent: Um….
Me: What?
Moral of the story: There’s always someone willing to do it cheaper. Maybe not better, but cheaper. And there’s always someone willing to claim they can get it cheaper. You can’t argue with them — they’re just trying to get you to drop your price. If you do, you’re stuck.
