Re: selling a house privately/or using an agent ???
Hi eXchanger,
I'm not sure what the market is like over there (it stinks here), but you might want to get an appraiser involved. If you have multiple interested parties, you might be able to fetch a much higher price if all of the work has been done. On the other side, some people might not be willing to bid on a house that needs work. They should be able to give you an idea how your property should sell in relation to other prices in the neighborhood.
You can sell it yourself. The only thing to avoid is getting too emotionally involved in the process. Determine what you are willing to negotiate beforehand and if a potential buyer isn't willing to play ball, just find another buyer.
Good luck!
