Do Realtors Set Home Prices? Let’s Set the Record Straight 🏡

💬 “Realtors are the reason home prices are so high.”
👎 False.

Let’s set the record straight: Realtors don’t set prices.
The market does. Prices are based on what buyers are willing to pay and what sellers are willing to accept. It’s basic supply and demand.

🏡 So what do realtors do?

✔️ Help sellers showcase their homes
✔️ Advise on pricing strategy
✔️ Navigate negotiations
✔️ Facilitate smooth, informed transactions

We don’t control interest rates. We don’t dictate inventory. We don’t set government policy. So if you’re frustrated with the market (and trust me, I get it)—don’t shoot the messenger.

🧠 The more you understand how the market really works, the better decisions you’ll make.
