We gave a well below ask offer. With very little negotiation, our offer was accepted. We feel blessed! The heirs were happy to finally rid themselves of the home. I believe better pictures and description would have brought in higher offers. The listing agent may have been inexperienced or did not want to pay a professional photographer. Maybe, he believed the location alone would sell the home. Definitely dropped the ball on this property.

You still have to pay the title company about 1500 bucks to do all the paperwork. But yes, you save a bundle. I wouldn’t even use an agent. It’s free to try it yourself. If it doesn’t sell in a couple weeks, then bring someone in? Anyone can list on Zillow if you own a cell phone.
