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?

Will private listing hurt my sale?
I'd like to test the waters with a private listing to gauge interest in my home. However, will a private listing hurt my sale? If someone is interested in the home, will I get less money from a private listing?

What if I disagree with my home valuation?
I talked to an agent about selling my home, and I don't agree with what they said. I get that they're the professional, but it feels like they just want to significantly underprice my home so that they can sell it quickly. I get that overpricing will just turn people away, but I want to reach a happy medium between what they said and what I want. Or should I just talk to a different agent about this? We haven't signed anything yet.

Can I raffle my house?
I read a story about someone raffling off their house. They sold $1 raffle tickets, and 2 million people bought them! The home was worth $1 million. I'm wondering if this is even allowed?! It seems like a crazy idea, but maybe I'd try it if it was legal/possible.
