Is my realtor overly optomistic?

[Account Closed]

I'm selling my primary residence (goes on the market in 2 weeks) and my realtor thinks I can get $50k more than I ever thought I would.  He's a friend and absolutely killing it as a realtor so I trust his (and his office that went over the comps) professional opinion. 

He wants to list my house at the higher end of the comps for 2 weeks and then drop it $20k if there's not enough activity.  Does this sound like a good plan or not?  Maybe I'm not accurately seeing the value of my house because I know how absolutely hideous it was before I renovated it top to bottom.

I'm moving into my girlfriends house so I'm not really in a rush, but there's obviously still holding costs.

Any thoughts?
