How to sell this, need advice

I have owned this 95-year-old duplex for 20+ years. It’s in great shape and has good bones as you say. I’ve always taken good care of it and hired professionals when I needed. I retired this year and I would like to sell as I’m getting tired. What I’m finding are there is no comps that come out very high for duplexes in my area. I’ve consulted with about six real estate agents and been given prices all over the place as possible listing prices. But my question is if comps don’t support a listing price, then the listing price isn’t gonna really matter. Isn’t that right? Investors just seem to want killer deals. The first real estate agent I consulted would like her son and husband to purchase the property for an investment property. They made an offer and it’s a good offer but again if the appraisal doesn’t support that price, then it’s not gonna matter isn’t that right? They weren’t interested in any kind of appraisal gap thing. I had a feeling due to her expertise and the fact that her spouse has about eight rental properties, they already have a pretty good idea of what the house would appraise at although she said that’s not the case. I would like to sell the property but I would like to get a premium price that will reflect all the hard work I put in over 20+ years. Any advice for me?

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...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
