Question options:

a)

Overpriced listings are unlikely to sell and recoup the advertising expense.

b)

Listing a property at a higher than market price decreases the chance that the property will sell for a premium price.

c)

d)

The policy lessens the liklihood that the salesperson and seller will get into an arguement about the value of the property.

Expert Solution

Overpriced listings are unlikely to sell and recoup the advertising expense.
