Agents need to coach sellers more effectively around motivation, pricing, and market conditions.Seller Motivation And Pricing Reality Many sellers are not motivated enough to meet the market  Some sellers are still pricing based on outdated expectations  Homes that are priced correctly are still moving  Buyers are active, but they are more selective  Agents need to be direct and confident in pricing conversations The panel emphasizes that this is not necessarily a market collapse. It is a market where skill, pricing, and seller education matter again.
