My cousin tried to sell a house a few years back on his own, got a few
bites, but nothing near what he was asking for it. He finally gave in and
hired a realtor to sell the home. The Realtor appraised the house at
almost
1-1/2 times his original asking price. My cousin figured he was crazy,
but
they went ahead on the deal. Two days later he got a call from the
realtor
with an offer within a couple grand of the "new" asking price! Even after
paying the fees he was way money ahead!

1) a few years ago. Prices have gone up since then.



?? He hired the realtor immediately after trying to sell it on his own. This
whole story happened a few years ago, so what's your point?
