If you are in a HOA you can submit your concerns to the HOA and they can address your concerns based on what in your neighborhoods CCR/Bylaws.

The next step is contact the city or town and maybe there is something they can do address the issues.

Lowering the price puts your home in front of another buyer group that previously was out of their budget. Price is a top factor when a home is not selling. Rate buy downs can be effective in the right market and if there is no other concerns with them area or home. A price cut also lowers your tax responsibility and commissions paid by seller and brings your home in front of a bigger buyer pool, it also helps if there is updates needed with home and area concerns. At the end of the day price sells

In my personal experience, I would always put my property on the open market. On the open market you will get full exposure and you will have access to all the buyers on the market, that is the best way to not leave money on the table. With a pocket listing you are reducing your buyer pool and maybe leaving money on the table just based on the limited exposure.

This is very common practice. A lot of my clients relocate from another state, I have a referral network of great agents in every state and we work together to make your sale and purchase as seamless as possible. This is keep to reduce your stress moving to another state and in working together we can make sure everyone is on the same page with all moving parts.
