It Completely depends on communicating with your client the seller, I like to start open houses two weeks after listing and do them every weekend.

Listen carefully to your trusted realtor, He/she should only use a professional photographer and market the home everywhere possible. regular open houses and follow the market very carefully, adjust price as needed but NEVER start too high in a balanced market.

Completely depends on the sellers budget and the market conditions, on higher value homes I would strongly recommend it.

It simply means the home is under contract and the sale is in progress and expected to close

Contingent means "subjct to" or, the sale is dependent on certain criteria being met

They do have a place in real estate however if you are not in a rush, find a great realtor and get the most for your home, cash buyers typically offer much less.

You will likely need to be approved again.

This is a very important conversation you will need to have with your broker/lender, only they should advise you in this area as realtors have good insight into real estate and should not be providing too much financial advise.

Both ! depends entirely on the buyer however most of the time a pool will add value to your home

The fastest way to sell any home (other than great marketing) is price ! list the house at or slightly below market value

Yes you can, you can also reach out to family and friends but make sure you disclose to the bank if you are borrowing outside of them.
