Cutting elm tree

I have an American elm tree that broke in a storm. It's not sick, yet. Here are options I can think of.

Pay an insured arborist to take down the tree so I can haul it away.
Find someone who will harvest the tree for a portion of the wood (maybe even 100%). American elm isn't exactly a premier woodworker's choice, though.
Wait for it to fall on my house.

What's your idea?
