Good tips...you only get ONE chance to make a good first impression so I would add make sure you de-clutter the home so buyers can see more of them and less of you in the home.

We recently acquired a home of a relative. It is a very nicely kept home. We want to place it on the market "as is" because we just do not have the funding to make any orretions. Such as, the only thing I see that really needs doing is new carpeting in one room and an inside paint job.
Please any suggestions.

I have also been selling my house, and it really depends at what price you bought it, if you bought it in the high price market you might have no option, but if you did not it might be best to keep it. Your house could be your best inflationary hedge you can have. Many people thing they just want to sell, but it could tourn arround that the best is to have property, specially if it is in a good secure place.

I, too, am trying to sell in a cold market. The neighborhood is very nice and the schools are exemplary. What is up? Essentially, the only showings I have had have been from our multiple open houses. The house is beautiful, staged, and everyone who has seen it "LOVES IT"! But, no offers. My guess is the price is too high. I have it at about 120.00/sq foot. The house is just under 3100 square feet. 4-2-1/2-3 car garage. I understand that I am "under bathroomed". I agree. So, is the answer just "lower the price"? Any suggestions?

I currently live in a home that my father and I purchased when I was going to school for my undergrad. We thought it would be wise to invest in a property as opposed to throwing money out the window on a rental. Now, five years later, I am ready to get out! A combination of intrusive neighbors and bad memories are making my living situation unbearable. The roommates I have had in the past have definitely not done their part to keep the house up, and now there are several repairs that need to be made. I need to be able to make some profit off of the sale of the property. What do I need to be doing in order to get the sale process started? Can I sell my home in it's current condition? Do I need to get a home equity loan to make home improvements? Any advice on my situation would be greatly appreciated!!!

If you're serious about selling your home, cut your price till it sells. In the end, the market is the only valid determiner of the value of a property.

How much the realtors care about the sellers needs? The go for their profit. They should be more realistic in collecting their fees. There are times when the house will not be attractive to a buyer because the fees placed on top of the selling price may discourage the buyer. The answer: Be more sensitive to the seller, adjust your fees with the seller's needs. Such was the case with that poor old lady receiving pennys for the selling of her house.
