Listing advice for a rookie

So I got my salesperson license a couple of years ago so I could control any deals I came across. I have a friend who would like me to sell his house, and I have never listed or sold a property before. What advice recommendations tidbits of information can any agent give me on the best way to advertise a house I am selling. I'm realtively sure I will be listing it on postlets but other than that I am at a loss. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated thank you very much.

No amount of marketing in the world will sell an overpriced listing.

If you get it listed at a good price for the market and your friend cleans it up on the outside and inside then your marketing efforts should pay off in some offers from buyers.

If your friend starts off high ( they all like to usually ) only go maybe 5% or less above the current sold's in the last month and then have built in markdowns for the listing contract.

Make sure co-op is great to buyers broker/agent to drive traffic to the property.
