My opinion only.
The agent wants his commission
that's first in his mind and he wants it sold within that time limit.
His interest comes first and he would sooner see it sold for less than have it advertised for sale too long.
Others would be thinking that if it's on the market for too long there's either something wrong with the house or the price is too high.
He risks it going to another agent and missing his commission completely.
His argument would be that it has been extensively advertised and we are very good at what we do, but not one person thinks the house is worth it so you must lower your price.
Can almost hear it.
Makes sense I think.
If no one bids on a house - The agent is right, the price is to high
Its not rocket science - its not some massive plan of deceit
If a price is to high there will be no interest no matter who the agent is
