Need Advice for Selling Your Property Without an Agent

[Angie W.]

I have a SFR that I have owned for 3 years that is now vacant. I would like to try to find a cash investor or owner occupant who would be interested in buying it as we currently do not have the time to properly market and manage it.

I have talked to my agent (whom I've worked with for years) and she keeps telling me to rent it and doesn't seem interested in listing it.

Even though I may not be successful in finding a buyer myself I would at least like to try to give it a shot - maybe even market it for rent and sale simultaneously and see what kinds of feedback I get. Property is ready to go, has had many updates, and would list around 40,000, and had been rented for the last 3 years @ $635.

If I market it for sale and find a buyer where do I go from there? Do I hire a RE attorney to look over any deal and set up closing? What expenses should I plan for? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
