DUFFY Realty of Atlanta
You cannot get a higher price unless you are willing to ask for one.
DUFFY gives sellers a low, middle, and high pricing range. If you believe your home is worth more than our high range, you still have the right to ask for it. We have watched sellers prove the industry wrong hundreds of times.
Comparable sales matter. DUFFY studies them. But comparables are past sales, and past sales do not always tell the whole truth.
Comps are evidence. They are not a ceiling.
MLS data usually cannot tell you the age of the HVAC, water heater, roof, appliances, hidden repairs, interior damage, maintenance history, or what the home really felt like in person. Photos and remarks can help, but they can also oversell a property and leave out the facts buyers actually need.
So when a seller knows the home is in excellent condition, has something unique, or includes improvements the market data cannot fully see, DUFFY does not automatically say, “You will never get that.” We would have been wrong too many times.
Proof Break
Simple does not mean casual. It means the process is built.
DUFFY gives sellers a clear path: gather the details, price with strategy, market the value, protect the contract, and make decisions without wandering around in the dark.
DUFFY's pricing range gives sellers context
Move It Now
For sellers who value speed, certainty, or a more aggressive market position.
Market Average
The range most aligned with the available comparable sales, buyer behavior, and current competition.
Excellent Condition / Strong Value
Already above what the comps may suggest when the home, condition, location, or buyer appeal supports asking more.
And if you want to ask above DUFFY’s high range, that is a seller right.
The market decides value, but only after you ask.
The old adage is still true: value is what someone is willing to pay. That cuts both directions. Sometimes the market says no. Sometimes the market shocks everyone and says yes.
Why DUFFY protects this seller right
Condition is hard to prove from MLS comps.
You cannot always see system ages, repairs, maintenance, damage, or the true condition of the comparable homes.
Buyers pay for uniqueness.
A special lot, rare feature, better floor plan, improved condition, or emotional connection can create value that the average comp does not capture.
COVID taught the market a lesson.
Homes sold $60,000, $75,000, even $100,000 over what comparable sales suggested. Buyers can stretch when they want the property badly enough.
Low asking prices do not create charity.
Outside a multiple-offer situation, buyers rarely say, “You listed too low. Let me pay more.” If you want a higher number, you usually have to ask for it.
If you choose to price above DUFFY's high range
DUFFY charges $500 at listing when you choose to go above our high range, then gives you that $500 back when you sell. It keeps the decision intentional while still protecting your right to test the number you believe your home deserves.
