It's best to go with a big name broker and you should really do your own home work on what is a realistic home price. Remember the home buyer's tax credit is over and that is going to hurt home sales. You may want to consider staging your home and that could include putting items into storage. It's vital to make your house look as big and flowing as possible.
We're moving out in 10 days, so it'll be empty for pictures. As far as price point, I feel like our listing price will be the lowest in our neighborhood and we have the most features to offer compared to the other homes (larger lot, stamped concrete patio, fenced yard, and 3 car garage compared to the others currently listed.
