What are your views on selling on-line, rather than through an agent?
Personally, I would sell my house through an agent. But he/she would be a top seller, I would not sign a boilerplate listing contract, and the agent would be in complete control to price, market, and sell the house. The contract would be for no longer than 90 days, and I would reserve the right to fire the agent if I lost confidence in them.
