Need advice on selling rental properties out of state.

[Brian Scott]

I have a couple of properties in Memphis, TN that I want to sell. I heard through my property manager that some investors have had some success advertising through Craiglist. They list them as turn-key real estate investments. I've been thinking of doing this myself, but have never sold a home this way before. What I need help with is...

1. Is this the best way to go or should I use a real estate agent?

2. If I did go this route, would I need to get an attorney's office to handle the paperwork and escrow?

3. Should I try selling locally through an agent to try and include non-investors in selling the properties?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
