FSBO vs Agent, or rent
My house has been listed on the MLS for about 5 weeks, and on Craigslist and a number of other sites for the same time. There have been few calls from realtors, One rejected offer, and only a few from internet sites.
I just had the house inspected by a certified, licensed, inspection specialist. He found only a few things wrong. All have been repaired except one, and we had to get material for it. That will happen Tuesday.
I'm preparing for a 5 DAY SALE at the beginning of August, but so far there has been no response to my ad.
Pre-inspection is one of the suggested items. In the 5 DAY SALE, people can have some assurance what they are bidding on is in good condition, as well as looking good.
I would make the repairs if I were keeping it, and I might, to rent out, if there are no calls.
If there are no calls, I have to decide to take it off the market (such as it is) and rent it, or, rent it while trying to sell. difficult I know, but it's getting time to do something. Very little is moving here.
Today, I will call rental agencies to send packages to me, as well as brokers who do both rentals and sales.
I am disappointed: I really do want to sell it.
