I bought a condo a couple years ago using a realtor, pretty straightforward purchase. I almost immediately started dating my current girlfriend and moved in with her "officially" about 6 months ago. I had been renting my condo out to my cousin when she needed a place to stay, but it's been vacant for a few months now while I've been going back and forth between legit renting it out or selling it. Long story short, I don't really feel like dealing with being a landlord, even though I'd be able to make a small profit (a couple hundred bucks/mo) so while I had decided I was most likely going to sell, I've been dragging my feet on cleaning out the remainder of my stuff, making a couple repairs, contacting a realtor, etc. etc.
Cut to this week, when I received a letter in the mail from a realtor representing someone who's very keen on living in my condo community, but new listings to purchase have been few & far between so they decided to proactively reach out to owners to see if anyone is interested in selling. I emailed the realtor saying that I'm interested, and he'd like to speak on the phone over the weekend.
I've only done the one RE transaction so far (with a realtor) when I bought the place, so I'm not sure what pitfalls I should be aware of if I go forward with this without my own realtor. On the plus side, it's a massive seller's market right now- most houses are on the market for less than a week, and many are selling for $15k-$20k above asking price. I don't really know what would be a fair price at this point- the Zillow "estimate" is roughly the same as what I paid for it in 2016 ($100,000), and I haven't really made any significant upgrades to it. I'd honestly be fine with getting basically what I paid for it, but I suppose there's no harm in starting $10-15k higher and see if they bite...
Any suggestions/tips for navigating this would be great!
