If you don't have 3 to 4 hours per week Consider hiring a good real estate agent and paying 5%-8% of your property value.  Americans are conditioned to pay the posted price for everything from apples to televisions, but we bargain when it gets to our automobiles and our homes. If your home is not priced competitively, buyers will reject it in favor of other larger homes for the same price. Because people buy homes that appear clean, solid and well maintained, your property must appear clean and well maintained to the buyer.
Sellers can usually find the true market value of your home by reviewing recent purchase prices of comparable homes in the neighborhood. You can usually check selling prices for homes nearby at the tax office. Lowering the price is smart if you know how to analyze the market and determine positioning for your price reduction.

Good marketing opens the door that exposes the property to the marketplace.  Advertising in a newspaper will not provide the constant and unlimited marketing exposure needed to sell your home.  In today's Internet-dominated market, a yard sign just isn't enough. Using resources like craigslist and usfreeads is a must to sell your home quickly.
