Default It's not "sentimental" to want to get the most $$ for your home

Just want to share some insight that I have experienced in the last year.
In February my family and I moved from Florida to Georgia. The first realtor we went with told us that we would have to bring money to the table at closing and that we were being "sentimental" about our house. Granted it was our first home and we bought it as a foreclosure and did a lot of the work ourselves. My husband unexpectedly got a job transfer so we did not get to finish all of the work that we had wanted to do, but we knew that we were not being sentimental about it.
We contacted another realtor who told us that we could get $30,000 more than we were told we could get and didn't need to make another improvement. Needless to say we went with that realtor and had our home sold within 8 days.
