What to do. . .

What a crappy time to decide that we should put our house up for sale! Don't we just have impeccable timing? However after meeting with two different realtors we are encouraged that things may not be as bad as we think they are with the housing market. It's definitely a buyers market and we will most likely have to eat some of the costs we've invested in this house, but we will also win on the buying end by getting more for our money. It was nice to hear both realtors walk in our house and say things like, "Wow, this is really nice. Someone could move in tomorrow. It looks like new construction." The realtor last night actually looked at us and said, "Is your house always this clean?" My reply, "Except for the pile of mail from the counter that I quickly threw in the cupboard, yeah!" (Thanks mom and dad for teaching me the fine art of keeping a clean house!) He said it was ready to show. We however know there are a few things we need to do, like paint trim and paint our front porch before we would show it. So, it looks like our house will be on the market soon. Now the question is, do we try to sell it ourselves or use a realtor?
