I need to sell my family’s house in Windsor Terrace. It has great bones (i just replaced the roof with the most quality one and upgraded all electrical) but it needs cosmetic renovations. It is located on Vanderbilt between Macdonald and East 2nd Street. I dont really have much time to advertise it and I wonder if it is worth hiring a Realtor. In the past, I did not have good dealings with realtors but thats maybe because they weren’t at the top of their game. I am thinking this time around I want to get someone who is seriously familiar with the neighborhood and done good sales and could fetch me the right price by understanding the marketplace and advertising. Maybe someone from Corcoran.

I wonder what people on this board recommend in this situation. If I decide to go with a realtor, what fee should I try and negotiate and what I should look out for.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
