If you have a good tenant and it is a stable situation, I wouldn't interrupt that situation just to sell at a loss. If you do need to sell, a low cost flat fee MLS listing would be an excellent candidate to minimize the loss. Flat Fee Listings in the Realtors Multiple Listing Service are typically around $399 to $499 and get you a licensee who can answer your questions, as well as all of the exposure that a high commissioned agent would provide.
Always call to speak to the Broker who will list your property, and I also recommend checking the Better Business Bureau before doing business with anyone. My website has links to reputable flat fee listing brokers in 47 states if you are interested. Good luck.

Englis,
If you can hold onto it financially, then hold onto it. If you definitely need to sell, then know that you will take that large loss.
If you owe more on it than it is worth, and you are having trouble making payments, then you may qualify for a short sale if you had to move to Germany for a job.
If you would like more information or I can help you further, please let me know.
Thank you & good luck!
Sincerely,
Marney Kirk

If you don't need to sell , I will keep it rented until the prices go up. There is no doubt prices will go up. How soon depends on the economy and jobs opportunities etc.

It is possible you could meet the criteria to sell on a short sale if you are upside down and have a job transfer to Germany. That means that you could get your closing costs and commissions paid for by your lender, a big bonus.
If you are using your current as a tax write off, then check with your CPA, there are benefits for renting.
It is hard to predict where the market will be in two years from now. Market indicators are that we are seeing glimpses of recovery.
