    I don't get this mel..

    You moved to geneva yet by the way?

    My point was is that if you're after a quick sale, this might be the best way to do it whilst getting an idea about what the market price is for your property. That said, I've never sold a property before.

    Geneva move is still being worked on... I've actually got some City interviews coming up in case I decide to bail out on the move. Thank god for that Maths degree...

    I don't know if it's just myth but our last EA told us July and August are 'slow months' as lots of people stop looking at houses while they go on holiday so maybe you should finish your house doctoring quickly to get a couple of weeks selling time before the schools break up.

    Having said that, we sold our house on Christmas eve last year and I can't imagine a less likely date to sell!

    price it 20k too dear..drop 10k..then the propertysnake crew will view and bid you 10k less than this thinking you are desperate then just accept..job done..

    Does this work ?
    It's not paranoia if they really are after you.

    drop your price ?

    surely there should be someone typing in big red letters that you should be upping your price not dropping it.
    It's a health benefit ...
