I just got a job in another city. I need to sell my house — quickly. What can I do?

In this depressed housing market, with so many homes for sale, you have to be creative. Real estate agent David Dweck with Re/Max Professionals in Coconut Creek suggests listing it rent-to-own.

The concept is an old one, in which buyers work their way into homeownership. The way he structures the deal: You set a price to sell your house at some point in the future. The renter pays you a non-refundable, upfront sum for the right to buy it at that price.

The renter moves in, and handles all the maintenance of the home just like an owner would. At the end of the contract, the renter either goes through with the purchase or walks away.

"People who rent-to-own maybe had a foreclosure, and they're rebuilding their credit," he said. "They can kick the tires before they buy it."
