    You wont recieve anywhere near what you want.

    If you need a quick sale, put it on with an agent below market value and sell to a cash buyer or put it in an auction.

    Put house on market at a price slightly above the lowest you can afford to accept or put it to auction with a reserve set with the same criteria.
