So I won't say what I am doing (probably wrong anyway) But I will tell you that beautiful pictures of the view the property, your new deck and the pool on a website is worth it's weight in gold. My family is from New Hampshire and listing with a local agent did nothing to sell their property. The agents (especially in a small town like the one we lived in) don't want to spend the money to market a house that will sell for 300K. Our family's sold with a picture of the mountain from the back porch in the Sunday Boston Globe. Your market are those wanting to escape the city I would think. Just saying. Try that and great pics on Zillow which you can add yourself and put the link in the adv. Just what worked for us. Oh and the baby blue carpet we had a company dye it tan for about twice the cost of a shampoo. The buyers tore it all out and put in aged looking hardwood. go figure they wanted an aged look I wouldn't get involved too much in updating other than painting. I started remodeling 5 years ago so now I have to finish in order to sell. My advise don't start unless the rug is shag. By the way where are you from I am from Sunapee and the rest of the family is in Hanover at the college (where houses are going for big money compared to 10 years ago)

Just my experience of the goofs I have made and am still making.
