<prompt> Human: Details to keep in mind:Father in law passed away and my mother in law gave my wife and I the house to do what we want.We are planning on selling it since it is a 1 bedroom 970 sq foot home and then pay off all of our debt 40k in CC and 15k on car loanHome is possibly worth max 75k. Not sure if I can even sell it at that since it needs some work done. Appraisal is 450 but waiting to see if I can afford to get it done now before listing.Once home is sold and we pay off our debts we are going to move in to my mother in laws basement and help with the expenses while we also save up utilities since mortgage is paid off - FIL had credit lifeI have a good idea about how I need to do this and regarding our future plans but right now Im still emotionally a wreck with the passing of my FIL we were really close so I figured I should reach out for advice in case I missed anything. Thanks Reddit!  <response>: I sorta dislike realtors, however...If youre selling, and you dont have a lot of time and experience, someone to schedule showing the house, advising you on how to get the house sell-ready, it could pay off. View it as this, youre paying 2250 for them to handle the bulk of the paperwork, and coordinate showing the house, and figuring out all the pricing. Your goal is to have the amount the realtor earns you the time-lost save of youyour wife not having to take off work, spend time doing research, etc, etc to be greater then 2250.OTOH, if you or your wife is unemployed, and willing to put in timeenergy researching what the best home improvements will be, hunting down contractors for the quick fixes, etc. A good realtor should know someone that can quickly paint the house, throw in fresh carpeting, do some landscaping, clean up the property so it looks nice. Maybe do a little staging, though for that home price, staging wont be done that much.If youre willing to do more of that yourself, then thats fine. But its a gamble. Do you think the realtor can get you an extra 2k? Possibly.
