They say it’s the price.
But it’s almost never just the price.
If you've ever had a listing sit on the market with showings but no offers—
If you've been told "it just wasn't the right fit" with zero real feedback—
If you've had sellers frustrated and agents defaulting to price drops...
This video is for you.

They ask layered, qualifying questions that reveal the real problem.

Because that’s how your sellers feel too.They’re upset—but not always for the reason they say. And if you just accept surface-level answers like “the price was too high”…You miss the truth.
