To find the right combination of price and condition to expedite the sale, you can call three Realtors, or, you can get an appraisal of the house by a certified member of the Society of Real Estate Appraisers (SREA). The latter is beneficial in two ways:

(1) you know exactly what the house is worth and (2) the buyer can use the appraisal to expedite his or her loan. The appraisal value of the house is acceptable to the bank for a six-month period, and the contract price cannot exceed the amount unless you have an all-cash buyer or the buyer agrees to personally pay the difference for the home in cash at closing
