Can I cancel my listing agreement if my real estate agent is not doing a good job?
I signed an exclusive right to sell contract a month ago, but my agent has not hosted any open houses or run the digital ads they promised. The house is barely getting any showings. I am frustrated and want to know how difficult it is to break a contract and find a new realtor.
Why is my house not selling?
Beautiful house, big yard, good school. 40 days on market and only 2 people come see it. My agent says the market is slow but I see other houses sell fast. Is it my agent or my house? I am very frustrated.
Can I restrict children from attending showings of my home?
I am an elderly senior citizen with a companion cat. I need to sell
How do I sale a home that is full of clutter

How long should I wait to sell an inherited family home that is sitting vacant?
My siblings and I inherited our parents' house a few months ago. The estate is settled, but we are torn on when to actually put it on the market. The house is older and completely empty right now. We are paying for utilities and basic upkeep, so I am wondering if we should just sell it immediately or wait.

How do I know if it's the right time to downsize and sell our family home?
Our youngest child just graduated from college and moved out of state, leaving my spouse and me in a four-bedroom house. The maintenance and yard work are starting to feel a bit overwhelming, but we are deeply attached to the neighborhood. We are trying to figure out the right timeline for selling and finding a smaller condo nearby. Should we sell while the house is still in great shape, or wait a few more years until we actually retire?
agent keep telling me to drop price
My house been on market 3 week. My agent call me every day say 'drop price 20k.' I think he just not working hard to find buyer. Is 3 week too long to wait before changing price?
We are relocating for work should we sell our house or rent?
My wife just accepted a job transfer across the country, so we need to move within the next four weeks. We love our current home and part of me wants to keep it as a rental property just in case we ever move back. However, managing a rental from another state sounds incredibly stressful. How do people usually decide whether to sell right away or hold onto the property when moving out of state?
How do I negotiate the commission rate with a listing agent?
I am getting ready to list my single-family home in the Chicago suburbs. I've spoken to a couple of local agents, and they both quoted a standard percentage. I want to know if there is room to negotiate this rate, especially since homes in my neighborhood seem to sell within a week. How do I bring this up without souring the relationship before we even start?
What questions should I ask when interviewing real estate agents to sell my house?
I've never sold a property before and I have three interviews set up with local realtors next week. I know I should ask about their recent sales and marketing plans, but I feel like I'm missing some crucial questions. What are the most important things to ask to ensure I pick someone who will actively work to get the best price for my home?
