Published by NestEdge Realty. This is a practical guide, not an independent agent ranking or a guarantee of results.
Selling above asking price is not a complete measure of a home’s market result. The asking price is a chosen starting point. For a Chappaqua listing, ask the agent to show the evidence behind the recommendation rather than promise a particular relationship between list and sale price.
Review the comparison choices
Ask why each sale is relevant and which alternatives were excluded. Discuss condition, location, layout, size and timing differences. An address nearby is not automatically a suitable comparison, and an active asking price is different from a completed sale.
Identify assumptions about preparation
Clarify whether the recommendation assumes repairs, cleaning or other work. If an improvement is expected to affect value, ask what supports that expectation. Its cost does not automatically translate into the same increase in a buyer’s offer.
Plan for new evidence
Agree on how new sales and showing feedback will be assessed. If an agent cites sale-to-list statistics, ask which properties and which version of the asking price were used. Record the reasoning behind any later price change.
