How long should I wait to sell an inherited family home that is sitting vacant?
My siblings and I inherited our parents' house a few months ago. The estate is settled, but we are torn on when to actually put it on the market. The house is older and completely empty right now. We are paying for utilities and basic upkeep, so I am wondering if we should just sell it immediately or wait.

How do I know if it's the right time to downsize and sell our family home?
Our youngest child just graduated from college and moved out of state, leaving my spouse and me in a four-bedroom house. The maintenance and yard work are starting to feel a bit overwhelming, but we are deeply attached to the neighborhood. We are trying to figure out the right timeline for selling and finding a smaller condo nearby. Should we sell while the house is still in great shape, or wait a few more years until we actually retire?

We are relocating for work should we sell our house or rent?
My wife just accepted a job transfer across the country, so we need to move within the next four weeks. We love our current home and part of me wants to keep it as a rental property just in case we ever move back. However, managing a rental from another state sounds incredibly stressful. How do people usually decide whether to sell right away or hold onto the property when moving out of state?

How do I negotiate the commission rate with a listing agent?
I am getting ready to list my single-family home in the Chicago suburbs. I've spoken to a couple of local agents, and they both quoted a standard percentage. I want to know if there is room to negotiate this rate, especially since homes in my neighborhood seem to sell within a week. How do I bring this up without souring the relationship before we even start?

What questions should I ask when interviewing real estate agents to sell my house?
I've never sold a property before and I have three interviews set up with local realtors next week. I know I should ask about their recent sales and marketing plans, but I feel like I'm missing some crucial questions. What are the most important things to ask to ensure I pick someone who will actively work to get the best price for my home?

Do I have to close my unlicensed business in home before selling?
I cut hair in my home and changed my basement into a hair salon. I have one other girl that comes in and we cut men's and some women's hair. We do it all under the table to save money. I am planning to sell my home and move to a bigger house but I want to keep my business going as long as I can. What can i do for listing pictures and tours? Can i keep it up and just say it's a hobby or something?
