Things Will be Great When You’re Downtown

This bear, created by a chainsaw sculptor in Montana, will have a new home in downtown Seattle someday soon. The owners of the bear and this house feel “the time is right” to make their money and go rent a condo in Seattle. List it or sell it on their own? After a big gulp, they felt listing it was best since they heard realtors in Magnolia blackball FSBO’ers by not driving clients past FSBO homes. Ooh, nasty.

I guess the house would fetch $600-ish, since it has a gorgeous view of downtown Seattle and is on the "Gold Coast of Magnolia" -- their words, not mine. So, they stand to lose -- what? $36,000 in fees and commissions?
