Good luck selling without a realtor. 99% of people just aren't comfortable without one. Too many things to miss or overlook. If you've tried to sell one using a realtor already, and had no luck, something is wrong with the house other than the price. Did you have a lot of shows? Did anyone make an offer at all?

Do not sell it if it is paid off in full,get a second morgage,use the money to buy a cheaper house you can live in and collect rent in the house you want to sell and you will still have money left-over.Think like Mr. Trump!-good luck.

Advertise, Advertise, Advertise!!!!
Put in paper, any free online classifieds. In ad compare appraisal to sale price put must sell.

Put up signs wherever people may be that look for houses, example: Colleges, Mobile Home Parks, Insurance offices. just be creative.

Hire a 'wide load" trucking company that can move your house out of Needles. Although I am sure it is beautiful there, from what I have seen on the Internet, it's not marketable.

I would like to look into it as an investment proprty for myself. If you have any picutures and the address so I can see exactly where it sits, that would be a great help. I presently own a couple houses in Laughlin and Needles has been on my horizon for quite some time.

...did some research on the property. I won't go into too much detail but I think you're problem is going to be what you bought it for a year and a half ago and the fact that it is zoned "Retail/trade". The zoning alone is going to be enough to keep the majority of buyers out of it. I see four cars parked in front of it from the aireal photos, is it an auto shop or set up to be an auto repair shop?

Have you tried a barter exchange group? You don't say why you are selling. Is there any financing on it now?
You say it's zoned commercial. What is it being used for now? If it is being used as residential, what commercial uses does it have?
Generally, marketing any property starts with brainstorming about the following questions:
1. Who would want my house?
2. Where are they now?
3. How do I contact them?
When you have these questions answered, you can develop a strategy to sell your property.

craigslist.com is great. Also get a home stagger and Hire an agent if you want any kind of exposure.

If you have done everything yo indicate there is only one reason it is not selling.....PRICE! Lower it until it does sell.

Sell it youself. I have never had a good experience with a realtor. Sorry Ya'll. 7 bad experiences, two friends and a fiance, before I married the$%^%^&^.

How to sell on your own. My suggestions. Experience.
Whenever you can afford to , advertise in the paper, do this.
When you have any weekend free, run an ad, OPEN HOUSE, with address only. Make some durable signs, (reusable) Open House, with a sharpened pole to push into the ground. Make enough with arrows pointing in your home direction. Have enough to place from a main street and at each intersection, guiding to your house, both directions. Have a large sign on your lawn. Buy some flags on a plastic strring, string these from your house to the street.

Have some refreshments available. Do this as many days as you can, every day, with or without an ad. You'll be suprised how many people just drive around looking for Open Houses. All days will do, if you have time. Best, 10:AM to 4:00 PM.

Realtors do some of this, very little. They sit by the phone or their cell these day. Arrrgggghhh


Good luck and good hunting.

Not a real estate expert, but just as good a suggestion as few already posted.

Since you're closer to Las Vegas, post on craigslist there (1st Link) Since it's free...nothing to loose!

Second suggestion (and here's where I might loose you, but I have the web sites to back it up..) try this: (for full instructions click on the 2nd link!)

Mention must be made at this site of the custom of burying a statue of St. Joseph in order to sell a home you place on the market.

The custom hearkens back at least to the great St. Teresa of Avila (A.D. 1515 - 1582), foundress of the Disalced Carmelite Order. As her Order spread, a new convent had to be built, and in order for a new convent to be built, land must be had. When the nuns found a particular piece of land that was perfect for their purposes, they also found that their coffers weren't full enough to purchase it, so they decided to ask the intercession of St. Joseph, burying medals imprinted with his likeness in the ground of the desired property as a sign of their prayers. It worked.

Nonetheless, over time, the folk custom came to be for sellers of homes to bury a statue of St. Joseph as a sign of prayer asking to find a buyer and hasten the sale.

Anyway, when the house is sold, God and St. Joseph are thanked, the statue is dug up and given a place of honor in your new home, and you, of course, tell others about the power of St. Joseph's intercession.

Here is the right answer... Hire a Realtor! Now, don't quit with me yet... Tell the Realtor that you want the house sold with a 2-1 Buydown and you want the full asking price at closing.

What is a 2-1 Buydown? It is basically a seller's concession at closing, that will allow the buyer a lower start rate when purchasing the home. So, if today's rate is 6%, the buyer will start out for the first year at 4%! The second year the rate would be 5%, and then for the rest of the loan, the rate would be at the 6% rate that they qualified for!

Since the price you mentioned appears to be low, this program would appeal to a First time home-buyer, or someone who is just starting out, yet expects an increase in income over the next couple of years. The cost for a buydown is under 2% of the purchase price, and that can be paid for at closing by you, the Realtor, the buyer, or ANY COMBINATION OF THE THREE!

So, why the Realtor? Because! They KNOW the market, and they have lists of people looking for JUST what you have. Do you think that they will send their clients out to look at your home JUST BECAUSE?? No, they won't---

Trust me, I know that this works! Been in the biz for YEARS as a mortgage rep, and deal with lots of Realtors everyday. Plus, in this market of inventory surplus, you just might need this kind of boost to market your unusual house...

If you need more info, or want help setting it up (I am licensed in CA,) contact me. Best of luck!

Sincerely,
REAL ESTATE GENIUS! LOL!
