ExDH and I are finally almost ready to list the matrimonial home. He is looking at the extra money we will lose if we list with an agent, and I am looking at the extra work and hassle and just the unknown of listing with Comfree.
Pluses with Comfree - they do an MLS listing so the house is visible online, the pictures they take look good (I looked at a house I know that they listed) and cost is low and set.
Negatives with Comfree - ExDH lives in the house, I don't, so he would be the one fielding phone calls and showing the house - and I am not that sure he would be as energetic and responsive as he needs to be - he is comfortable with things as they are, I am the one who wants to get her equity out of the house. Plus how good are they at arriving at a reasonable listing price? EXDH is now talking about trying to get more money for the house - what it is "worth" and what we can get are not necessarily the same. This is making me nervous, I can see us listing too high and the house not selling.
The financial settlement lists the procedure for selling the house, including the agent and the rough estimate of price, so I do have legal ground - but only if I push.
Given all this, could those who have used Comfree give an opinion on whether it is worth it to go that route? The people I know who have listed with Comfree are testing the market, they are not in any hurry to sell, whereas I want it sold this summer.
