Maybe they’ll want to try an auction… they can always reject all bids. They will have to pay regardless for the service, so be advised it might be a quick way to sell but not the cheapest.

If it’s overpriced, drop the price.

The best way to lure whatever buyers there are is to price slightly below market. Knowing stuff like this is part of what agents get paid for.

LOWER YOUR PRICE.. GET IT PRICED BY 4 TOP AGENTS IN YOUR AREA, AND PRICE IT BELOW WHATEVER THEY SAY. PRICE IS KING.. WHATEVER YOU SELL IT FOR TODAY, WILL BE MORE THAN WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, REMEMBER WE ARE GETTING INTO THANKSGIVING AND CHRISTMAS AND THEN NEW YEARS, NO ONE WILL BE BUYING HOMES DURING THESE MONTHS.. SELL NOW OR WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR, AND THEN TAKE THE BIG RISK THAT RATES WILL GO UP, FORECLOSURES WILL OCCUR AND YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SELL.

Price it 1% to 2% below the going value of similar houses in your area.

To have a successful transaction you need a willing buyer and a willing seller. The more the buyers, the more likely a deal is made. This exposure bears a cost (agent’s fee, advertisement etc). In order to have a happy outcome the seller has to determine where this cut off point is, where additional selling costs now does not warrant the ever diminishing incremental returns. Some demographics favour auctions, others prefer do it themselves. Sellers need to set realistic target whatever the chosen method of sale. Once the happy outcome is achieved there should be no nagging regrets on what might have been!

Sell it on your own ,through a company like House Hunter @ http://www.househunter.com ,and sell it at the lowest price that still allows you to get out of it what you need.

Either know someone who personally needs a place pretty much like what you are selling…or just list with a good real estate agent in your area…they generally have some contacts that are looking for what you are selling…also…price, condition, and "condition’s" of sale will determine a lot

Auction – this defines the time frame with an auction date, but they may get more or less than they hoped originally.

You could do something like this: http://www.FastHomeOffer.com My mom is trying to sell her house, too, and it is a good house but in an unpopular city. You have to make the house as enticing as possible, and the realtor should mention all the strong points about it. Another good thing is to maybe rent it out instead of buying it, then they could rent another house until their old house is sold. Or hire a new real estate agent.
