In this market you need to establish a list price based on the active inventory that is not selling, not past sales. You should price your home more attractively than the homes currently listed for sale.

I would suggest at the very least decluttering as much as possible. Then you should have an agent come in an advise you on how you can stage the remaining furnishing. You can also discuss if rooms should be painted or left as is.

As long as you do not sign an agreement there is no obligation. I suggest interviewing 3 agents based on recommendations. Of the three agents, you are likely to find a good connection with at least one of them. Have a list of questions in advance of interviewing them.
