We are in a seller's market but no offers after 3 weeks. We are selling a 2008 home, and competing with new homes $20k more expensive.

To be competitive should we:

1. Update our property (ie bronze fixtures like new homes) and ask a higher price 

2. Lower the price until we get offers (we are getting showings)

3. Offer cash back for improvements at closing (then we won't have to pay cash first)

4. Wait for the right seller

My last 2 realtors just "seemed" to market my house on mls and nothing more, so a flat fee realtor could do the same for less, right?

Some realtors promise better results than others, but is there much more that can be done? Some promise faster results and a higher asking price, but is that really possible?

I appreciate it guys! Ronald, I am going to get a bit more educated and will hang on to your link.

Hey..appreciate your input Deacon!

I have heard about these..thanks for bringing it up for me to look into, Paul.

I appreciate it!

ha ha...hmm, does that mean I dont need to fix it unless asked?

What is the best way to acquire my first rental property?

I am too busy to do traditional prospecting, but I am willing to make less of a profit.

If I can't do traditional prospecting, should I stay out of real estate?

(I am not asking for a mentor...but asking if a mentor is a good way to go?)

What options are there? Shared profit mentor?  Fee based mentor?   Investment club?

I patched a quarter-sized hole in my shower 3 yrs ago. Then, I covered it with a "Command" hook that I hung a razor on. Problem solved!

Now, we are selling. Is it possible to fix it professionally? Will I need to replace the shower? I could ignore it, but the buyer would not know there is a hole under the command hook.
