Also could use any tips on making the sale easier. We have bought and sold 9 homes with realtors and they always sell really quickly so I thought I'd try it myself. Not interested in hearing from realtors with comments about why I need a realtor.

I am NOT a realtor. I do, however, appreciate all the foot work necessary to buy and sell that realtors do. Most realtors have connections with closing agents, etc. Do you plan to use an "as is" contract to sell? Do you have contract forms to use? Utilities will need to be read an transferred. Cable disconnected. Without a realtor, you will have to think about and do all of this. That being said, we worked when we sold our last house. We both are retired now so we have more time. I think It will come down to whether you are interested in doing the work or paying someone else to do it.
