It’s flattering to hear a big number at an appraisal, but Michael Tomadakis cautions vendors: always ask for comparable evidence supporting any price. The best agents explain value based on actual sales and current market conditions, not just a wishful pitch. Choosing by high appraisal often leads to failed campaigns, price reductions and lost time. Real trust is built on transparency and proof—not empty promises. Michael recommends: interview multiple agents, demand to see their evidence, and value process over hype.
