Save yourself the money and have your agent list it for what you think it will sell for. If you don't get a bite, you can always lower it.

This is good advice.
We are currently going through this with Moms house that transferred to us kids upon her death.
The comps the realtor gave us were for homes similar to moms that sold and property only (there's 3 acres) that sold. After discussion amongst the 4 of us we decided to list the house and property at a higher price than what the realtor recommended and drop it after 3 weeks if we get no offers. It's prime property in Shawnee but the house will need some work so this gives us some negotiating room but should still allow us to get at least the appraised value.
Good luck Lzen!
