Per our Realtor's instructions....

Oh man, it's agonizing. Basically, if we can't sell by June 1 we're sunk. We have a house we want. Owners are holding until June for us at a reduced price. If we don't sell, they have to put it on the market and the price will go up to cover realty fees ~6-7% which could push it out of our price range. That last fact could be compounded if rates increase as projected.

Our neighbor across the street sold their house in a week with multiple offers for $25K OVER asking. This is a niche neighborhood and very desireable to many, but as you say, tough times.

If we can't sell with Obama giving people cash, low interest rates, the hottest time of year in CNY for Realty statistically being spring, in a desireable neighborhood, I don't know what else we could have done.
 
I had to do something similar when I sold my house in November. The realtor actually asked if I could move it out of the way!!! :spin2: BUT he did sell my house for full asking price in 3 days. So I didn't have time to get mad. GOOD LUCK CULLY!!!:beer:
 
Well Gary, here's the deal, I don't actually HAVE a realtor. I feel that they are obsurd. I mean I work 2 jobs to pay off a $10K roof in 4 months, then turn around and give it to someone who will take pictures of my house?? AND if you list For Sale By Owner, they will, by admission, steer buyers away from you as there is no comission to be made?? Parasites!!!!

I am selling "By Owner", BUT I am giving a buyer's realtor their due cut should a sale go thru. Now, even that steams my clams, but it is the nature of the beast. I drives me crazy, that a buyer might see my add, THEN have their realtor bring them over. If they love the house and buy it, the extortionist realtor stands to do almost nothing, but show up at closing and grab a check for several grand. DRIVES ME NUTS!!!

I have "enlisted" the help of a realtor, who made the good natured suggestions, and I hope she makes the sale as she'd be more deserving of the comish than any of the other brokers. But, ultimately, I just wanna git it sold!
