Do smart homes have higher resale value or does it hurt?
Husband insists that the more smart stuff we put in our home the higher the resale value. We already have the doorbell, thermostat, garage door, and locks. Are these things that increase the value? i feel like it is more work because we have to replace batteries and when we are offline they are super annoying.

How does the NAR settlement actually affect me as a seller?
I keep hearing about this lawsuit and commissions changing. Does this mean I don't have to pay the buyer’s agent anymore? How do I bring this up with my realtor without it being awkward?

Do I legally have to tell buyers about my horrible neighbor?
My neighbors have been awful to live next to. They don't take their trash cans in and they have been known to blow around their junk around the neighborhood. They yell at my kids. They wrote passive aggressive notes about a tree on my land they didn't like. They set up cameras to spy on us in our backyard. They steal our mail. and so much more. Do I have to disclose this in any formal way? I don't want to be a jerk but I also want to sell my house.

Are those cash offer postcards in the mail legit?
I keep getting We Buy Houses flyers. Are these ever a good deal, or is it always a lowball/scam? I need to sell fast but I don't want to get ripped off by a wholesaler.

Can I sell as-is if I still owe a lot on my mortgage?
My house needs a new roof and some foundation work. I don't have the cash to fix it. Can I list it '"as-is" and just let the bank take their cut, or will a lender refuse to fund a buyer because of the condition?

How do I pick the best offer for selling my house?
I have three offers on the table. One is all cash but lower; one is over asking but has a financing contingency; and one has a massive down payment. How do I know which one is actually the safest bet to get to closing? My realtor says all cash is always the way to go because we know they have the money now but I feel like I want to get more and go with the over asking.

Should I pay for my own inspection before listing?
I want a smooth sale, but I’m worried the buyer’s inspector is going to find some massive issue and kill the deal. Is it worth the $500 to do a pre-listing inspection so I can fix stuff now, or am I just looking for trouble?

What is my first step for selling my house?
We've decided to sell but I have no idea what I should do first. Do i talk to a contractor and get everything updated and fixed first? Do i have to get pictures taken on my own? Do I talk to the bank because we have a mortgage? We haven't even looked at other houses yet so I don't know where we are moving.
