The biggest expense is your realtor fee as the seller pays the fee. Try Redfin if they are in your area. Or look for other realtors who may take a fixed fee and offer buyer’s agent 2% to begin with and then bump it to 2.25% or 2.5%

We sold our NYC condo without a broker by posting a flyer on the tenant notice board in a hallway. Had two interested parties who were renters in the building and we sold in weeks for close to asking price. Enough units and sales for us to know the market value.

Try to go it without a broker - if successful you can save 5-6%

Maybe reapproach the RE agent you used to purchase and negotiate a reduced fee?

You could also consider renting it out depending on your situation - pretty easy to manage one unit. Otherwise as others have said, try to find a realtor who’s a friend of a friend and will help you out with a lower fee given your situation

Airbnb it?

How much cash do you keep in bank accounts? I have 50% in RE, 25% in market through retirement and education accounts and 25% in cash. Always think it’s too much cash but have never been able to gather courage to put more than 25% in market which I already have through 401K and 529. Any ideas on what to do with money just sitting in the bank earning no interest with 9% inflation eroding the value every single day
