Situation: I want to try an asking price of £50,000 more “just to try”.

Response:

Bring a deflated balloon & blow it up slightly.

Say:

“This is your first 14 days on the market. The only time your listing has real power.”

Then slowly let the air out.

“You lose that momentum, and you can not get it back. It’s like trying to sell yesterday’s newspaper.”

Mic drop:

“Buyers don’t get excited by price drops. They get suspicious.”
