Tengo una amiga de la familia que es agente inmobiliaria. Me cae bien y es de gran ayuda, pero me da un precio para vender mi casa y creo que es demasiado bajo. Así que llamé a otro agente que me sugirió un precio más acorde con mis expectativas. ¿A quién elijo?

You might want to consult a couple more Realtors on the market value of your home. Most of the estimates should be in the same ballpark.

It could be that your friend is being more honest with you about the value of your home and the other Realtor gave you a higher number because he already knew you expected it. This is called “Buying a Listing” and is the subject of an article on our web site.

Or it could simply be that your friend is a good friend, but not that great of a real estate agent.

Mixing business and friendships is always risky to the friendship. On the other hand, if your friend is truly competent and was providing wise advice, she may be offended if you ignore the advice and choose another agent.
