As of last night, we have a realtor and a ‘For Sale’ sign in our front yard. Our house is completely ready for showing, and it’ll hit the MLS before the weekend. So now we wait… As far as choosing the realtor went, we interviewed three different people, two of which we really liked, and one of which we didn’t. While we initially thought that two would be enough, their price estimates were pretty divergent, so we opted for a third interviewee. Her suggested price fell right between the other two, roughly where we thought it should be, and we really liked her style. Thus, we ended up signing on with her. We’re headed out of town this weekend to check out properties on the other end, so hopefully there’ll be a few showings while we’re away.

RS: That wasn’t the price of the agents. That was the difference in the prices that they suggested for the house.
That’s a lot of money Nickel…isn’t it amazing how much they get?
Too bad. She would have had it sold by now. 😉
RS: The highest and lowest agents differed around $15k, which is a bit over 6% of what we finally put it on the market for.
FMF: No, we ended up having enough recommendations that we didn’t contact your person.
Did you go with my reco? 😉
Good luck Nickel…do you mind if I ask the price range that you decided on and how different the agents prices were?
Good luck with the sale… keep us posted on the progress!
Hope everything goes well.
Good luck, Nickel!
