"I paid much less for the home than I expected"
“John has been in the business for a long time and has an amazing knowledge of the different areas in St. Louis. I can't give him anything short of my highest praises. Yes, he is a friend, but to work with him professionally, was a great experience. He helped me find my home on Stone Canyon in Manchester in January. He not only pointed out things to me (that I didn't even come close to thinking of) in assessing homes, but even did so to the seller, when negotiating price. I paid much less for the home than I expected or was even willing to pay.”
John M. McArthur

Accepting An Offer >Know Your Price Range
As a homebuyer, you may have found the perfect new house for your growing family, but what if it is a little out of your price range? You might list your current home for more than it is worth and be lucky enough to find a qualified buyer who is willing to pay the price, but it is impossible to know in advance what your home will sell for.
If you want to sell your home quickly, have a frank and detailed conversation with your real estate agent to determine the best price for the house. Setting your price within 5% of the fair market value of your home greatly increases your chances of getting solid offers that will result in a relatively quick sale.
Don't buy and sell so close to your target amount that you become anxious when the numbers don't meet your expectations. There may be other approaches, such as adjustable rate mortgages or owner financing, to increase your buying power and get you into that new home. When you are selling one home and buying another, you will need more than good luck. You will need a highly professional and experienced real estate agent who can give you solid advice on how to make the transaction work for your particular requirements.
