i rented it out to someone that convinced me that she would treat it gently. I was about to hire a realtor; that guy said I was $400 underpriced and I shouldn't offer to pay utilities.

I learned that the FB sublet groups are not the way to go...mostly college students. But there are a lot of established professionals that appreciated the location, furnishings, etc.

Also learned that sublets get rented at the very last minute...

done. thank you!

Done and done on the 2 suggested groups. I posted on FB marketplace, and the NOVA, GMU, and DC housing groups. Things have changed since I last sublet a few years ago, loads of scammers. It's depressing. THANK YOU!

thanks a lot for the input. what do you think is fair? I joined some sublet groups on facebook - people asking around $1000 - and up to $1700 - for a room in a shared apartment. It is all utilities included - and it's been seriously updated, but I get that renters might not care about Bosch appliances, 75" OLED TV, Sonos system....
