Hi, Sorry to hear about your stroke. There is one or two other things you could do. I listed my latest renovation property on owner.com just yesterday.

not good news.
1 change tact & use one agent, what has driven you to 2 agents?
2 does the property lend itself to auction? Ie uniqueness or few on the market?
3 where is the property? Freehold or leasehold?

http://www.domain.com.auHi McGrandles
Sorry about your stroke, hope you are recovering well.
Agents and their sales staff work for money, excuse me stating the obvious.
If time is more important to you than the sale price, then i suggest you offer a bonus commission to the agency if they sell within a set period and above a set price. Make sure the price you set is market price, not agents inflated buy-the-listing-price. In the eyes of sales staff, that would set your property apart from others in the same price range, and motivate sales staff to promote it and show it to more prospects.If you're not happy with the 2 agents, try a third but ask them to complete a sales folder display to show you how they would sell the property if you listed it with them, and compare it with current agents' efforts.
Spend $300-$400 for an independant valuation so you know what it's conservatively worth.Good luck, hope you feel better soon and sell fast.
Cheers

worked many years for commission stupid i know never put into super its only the past few years that i had a super fund and have all ready tapped into to pay bills
If you are not too worried about selling at a lower price then if you put the words "Motivated Seller" or "Must Sell due to ill Health" in your internet advertisement you will attract investors. This is because those words end up in the search engines on the internet and when an investor is searching for a motivated seller they will search for those words and your advertisement will be in the search result.
