[Barefoot]

Coney, you didn't say if you are listed with a professional real estate company and your house is on MLS, or if you are trying to sell it privately. As a former realtor I can tell you the list price is all important. If you are getting showings with no offers, you are somewhat overpriced. If you are getting no showings at all, you're probably really overpriced.

Unfortunately, what you paid for a house doesn't mean that is the sale price in today's difficult real estate market. Everyone always thinks the "right" buyer from the "right" area will be willing to over pay for their home. Not gonna happen. Buyers these days are very savy and do their homework.

Hiring a professional to do the marketing, give you an honest list price, and place it on MLS gives you exposure to thousands of agents.

Rather than reactiving my real estate license or trying to sell my house privately, I just listed with a specialist so I would have exposure to the 20,000 members who belong to this real estate board. In the long run, I will benefit financially from this decision.

Coney, if you have any real estate questions, I'd be glad to help if I can, just PM me.
