Warming Up for My First House Sale, Stubborn to Lower Price

[Account Closed]

Hi again, Mr. Pockets. I've put my primary home on market, just Zillow for now, with a nice description and price started at $700,000 ($70,000 less than posted last yr). I will work with agents for 3%, but unwilling to show to each agent to avoid hassle of exclusivity shpeal and having to organize house for each non-buyer showing. Since it is being sold "As-Is" I don't need to explain or show more than I have to to agents, but I may be self-sabotaging. It is too high considering the work it needs, but with Sandy, availability of housing and a large # of Asians with Cash in Flushing, NY -- I am trying to keep positive,

I've gone down $11,000 since listing 2 months ago, but house needs about $100K of work. It is an antique with Olde World Charm -- a semi-attached English Tudor in North Flushing. I get attached to places, but I have to let place go for less; fear of unknown . . . my mom flips RE and says I'm not going to get anything for place I wouldn't even buy. Her positive attitude stinks. I think I need counseling but want to avoid RE Agents. It would be a great Home/Office for a medical practice, where do folks look? Where should I go for what kind of specialist? A home inspector? Thanks for any advice. Miriam in No Flu, NY
