Need advice on selling mother's home

Background:

My mother lives by herself in a 4 bedroom/2.5 bathroom home that she owns (mortgages). She is in poor health and rapidly headed towards not being able to care for herself. I need to help her sell her house and get her in an environment more suited to her needs. And it needs to happen fast.

​

The House:

Structurally the home is fine. The interior of the home is not in good condition. It smells BAD, kitchen needs complete renovation, basement is half finished, carpets all need replacement, doors need replacement. I would be embarrassed to bring anyone into the house, never mind try to convince someone to buy it. She, nor I, are able to front the cash to remedy the issues prior to selling. However, I assume for the right price there would be someone willing to buy it.

​

Financials:

  • The house is in the suburbs of NJ
  • Others homes in the neighborhood have sold recently for $400,000-$450,000.

Questions:

  • Is there a particular strategy for selling a house in this condition?
  • What is the first step? (Finding a realtor willing to sell it?)
  • Does anyone have experience buying selling a similar house?
  • What would the out of pocket costs look like for selling this home?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
