As some of you know my husband and I are trying to sell our house at the moment. It is an old house and we have renovated the house in order to get a higher price. At first we talked to one of the local real estate agents. She visited our house, and some days later she contacted us about the price. She gave us an estimated selling price, and we were shocked when we heard the amount that she mentioned. If we accept that price we are going lose a lot of money, because the amount was much smaller than the amount that we paid when we bought the house. House prices on our island have decreased since that time, we are aware of that, but the amount was still much too small. We decided to contact a different real estate agent, and the estimated selling price that she gave us was $15000 higher than the price from the other real estate agent. We think that it is an acceptable and realistic price, and we have decided to chose the second real agent. We really hope that we will be able to sell the house relatively fast.

Oh yes dont sell yourself short..glad you did choose the more focused real estate agent. At least you are capable now of getting a decent price for your investment. I will see if I can come up with the cash haha

I am very happy that we didn't pick the first real estate agent. I was so disappointed when the first one mentioned the price, and I am much happier now. We will still lose some money when we sell the house because the house prices are lower now, but it is not too bad. It will be a big relief when the house is sold, then we can start over

@TiarasOceanView Thanks We are renting a cheap house now, and we hope to buy it when the other house gets sold. The house that we are renting has been neglected for a long time, and it badly needs renovation, but it is fine at the moment. When we buy it we will be able to make some changes.
