Hello Thomas, your aunt says you are very handy.

Get a new 'realtor'. As long as the house was wired to code when it was built (and your locality doesn't have any rules requiring specific upgrades before sales) you can sell it.

Now, if Thomas over here has been at your wiring at some point then, yeah, you might need to rewire the place. If its just that your outlets lack grounds because it is an old house and someone 'upgraded' your outlets without adding a ground the easiest fix that meets code is to just install two-prong outlets again. They do still sell them specifically for old homes with ungrounded boxes. You could also install GFCI outlets and mark them as ungrounded. It is a better solution but costs more.
