How can I determine a cash selling price for the home in todays market that's both fair to me and the owner. ? Thanks !
We bought a fsbo in TV several years ago. We ask the seller what he wanted - he said he had consulted a Villages sales person and they said they would list it for X. We said, okay we will give you X less 3%, splitting the difference between what he would get after the commission. We agreed and everyone was happy.
