When you fully market your home and expose your listing to the entire market, you reap the benefits of competition. As an example, during the first 3 months of this year alone, we have several sellers who are accepting offers from 5 percent to as much 26 percent over the list price.

The bottom line: You may have some good reasons to consider a "quiet sale". But if your primary objective is to maximize your return on investment, then marketing your home to all potential buyers is the way to go.
