How best to learn my house’s value if I go with a non-traditional sale (without the use of an agent)? I’ll be selling a second home that is currently rented through a property manager. I’ve contacted a real estate agent in that area (the property is in the Midwest, while I live in California) about the sale, but I now have the property manager expressing interest in buying the property. A sale to the property manager’s company could make things much easier for me, as the place is furnished and I wouldn’t need to plan the moving or disposal of those furnishings. But I really don’t know what the place is worth, and would have relied on the real estate agent to provide those figures. I image too that an offer to sell the place to the “bird-in-hand” investment buyer (the property manager) would entail balancing the offered price against agent commissions, moving costs, etc. Selling to the property manager’s company could be the very best thing, but how would I know what a fair offer is? In cases such as this, is there a percentage, that would traditionally go to an agent as commission, that a buyer, sans agent, might expect as a discount? I’m sure there is, but just don’t know how these things would work. Anything else I should be aware of? I seem to be getting into a touchy situation, having got the ball rolling with an agent (no contract - just a call to set up a meeting in a few weeks time), then being approached to consider a different option.
