Agents: How do you not waste your time with an unrealistic seller

Greetings BP Fam,

Seller wants $375k walk away (after commission and fees), doesn't want to offer buyer any subsidy. Sold comps identify $300k is more realistic, other sellers are offering buyer help.

Caveat: desirable area of harford county, md. Not many homes come up for sale in this area (found 4 good comps, 1.5 mile radius, 3 sold in august '15, 1 in december '14) and 0 foreclosures in the past 4 years (is scarcity a reason to justify higher price?)

Is it worth my time to work with a seller that's not willing to come down on price to be competitive with what's in market? Should I just enter into a listing agreement with seller and see what happens?

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,

E. Harris
