How many open houses is the right amount?
My agent wants to have four open houses. Two this weekend and two next weekend. I feel like most home sales usually have one on a Sunday. Is four too many open houses? What's the right number?

Can I do a pocket listing?
If we list our home as a pocket listing, will it then now show on some websites? We've been reading about Zillow not showing homes that were privately listed. So, if I do a pocket listing will Zillow not show it? Are other companies doing this? We wanted to test the waters on our house and start with a pocket listing. We know there's a range of values for our house and we want to start with the high end, so we thought a pocket listing would be a good test of interest. We prefer a pocket listing at a high price, rather than listing high and having to decrease the price.
Can I pause selling my house?
I've had my house on the market for about 3 weeks. I was hoping it would sell quickly and I wouldn't have to deal with showings over the holidays. rnI'm wondering, if it hasn't sold by the week of Thanksgiving, can I pause selling my house? I don't want it to look like the house is just sitting there and no one wants it. But I also want to enjoy the holidays without needing to have the home "showing ready" at all times.
Difficulty finding a realtor/agent to sell Manuf. home?
I've called many realtors/agents and even brokers, asking if they can help me sell my Manufactured home, not on land and in a park to. Have found none thus far or they haven't called back after me leaving a message.
Are Open Houses a waste of time ?
Our listing agent says that open houses don’t generate serious buyers. When the agent does an open house, he never has a sign up sheet, so I don’t know how the agent follows up with potential buyers that might be interested. For awhile, the agent didn’t even have flyers to hand out. Is an open house just a waste of time ?

What to do about a sick real estate agent?
I'm selling my house and my real estate agent has been sick for the past week. While I definitely understand sickness, I'm frustrated that showings have been rescheduled and delayed. This is a key time and having my house sit on the market while pushing away buyers is not okay. What can I do about this? I want to have compassion, but this is possibly affecting my house sale and profit.

Should I walk around with the appraiser?
We have our home appraisal coming up. I'm wondering what my role is. Should I walk around with them? Or do I just try to avoid them? Or is it like a home showing where I should leave?

How clean should my house be for appraisal?
Should I have my house sparkling clean for the appraisal? I feel like I should have it deep cleaned and looking its best. But I also have small kids and it's hard to keep the home so clean! Will a sparkling clean house impact my home appraisal value? What's best practices?
