In today’s episode of Connor with Honor, First Responder Realtor, we’re tackling a major reason why homes in Santa Clarita may not be selling—pricing them too high. As sellers, it’s tempting to shoot for the stars when setting a price, but an overinflated asking price can be the number one deterrent for potential buyers. When your home sits on the market for too long, it risks becoming stale, and you could end up getting far less than you hoped for.

The Santa Clarita real estate market is dynamic, and pricing your home strategically is key. In this episode, I break down the data from recent market reports to explain the effects of overpricing. You’ll learn why buyers are more informed than ever, armed with data, and how they can spot an overpriced property a mile away. I’ll explain how overpriced homes tend to sit on the market longer, which can ultimately lead to price reductions that hurt your bottom line.

I’ll also share real-world examples of homes that sat on the market far too long simply because their price was out of touch with what buyers were willing to pay. We’ll cover the ripple effect of these decisions: how an overpriced home affects buyer perception, limits foot traffic, and makes negotiations more difficult. On the flip side, I’ll show you the importance of pricing competitively right from the start, creating a sense of urgency and attracting multiple offers, which could even lead to a bidding war.

We’ll also dive into actionable tips for home sellers, discussing how to analyze market comps, the importance of working with an experienced real estate agent, and why paying attention to local trends is critical. We’ll talk about why getting emotional over the price can be a mistake and why pricing should be viewed as a strategic business decision.

Whether you’re a first-time seller or looking to re-list a home that didn’t sell the first time around, this episode offers a deep dive into the strategies you need to get your home sold faster and for top dollar. I’ll share why having the right agent to guide you is crucial to your success and how I can help you avoid these common pricing mistakes.

Welcome to another episode of Connor with Honor, your trusted source for real estate insights and advice you can count on. Today, we’re discussing a critical but often overlooked aspect of choosing the right real estate agent—communication. Is your agent talking too much and not listening to what you want? As a former LAPD officer turned First Responder Realtor, I know firsthand that listening is essential for making the right decisions, both on the streets and in real estate.

In this episode, I’ll highlight why an agent’s ability to listen carefully and understand your needs is crucial to your success as a buyer or seller. We’ll dive into the red flags to watch for when your agent talks too much and doesn’t seem to hear you. Is your agent giving you generic advice or steering the conversation to what they want to sell, instead of focusing on what you need? If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.

I’ll also provide actionable tips on how to choose an agent who prioritizes your goals over simply making a sale. From asking the right questions to ensuring that your concerns are heard, we’ll cover how to tell if your agent is truly working for you. And remember, in both law enforcement and real estate, honesty and transparency are key. If an agent is over-promising or pushing deals that seem too good to be true, it might be time to reconsider your choice.

Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property, or simply curious about how to evaluate your real estate representation, this episode will arm you with the knowledge to make the best decision for your unique situation. Don’t settle for an agent who isn’t fully committed to listening to your needs.

Make sure you tune in to this episode of Connor with Honor to learn how you can find a realtor who puts you first—because your real estate journey deserves more than just a one-sided conversation. Trust me, I’ve seen the consequences of poor communication, and it’s not something you want to face in one of the most important financial decisions of your life.
