Agent does not want to list

[Account Closed]

I am finally in a position to prepare to list my rental, the repair work is about done, then the cleanup.
I called the person I expected to list it with, and she said she's not taking any more listings. She'll work for buyers, but because of the cost to her, and her own position and the market, it's not prudent for her to take listings now.
I was amazed, I fully expected to list with her. Yes, I did interview others, and she did mention that, I had told her I would. I didn't find anyone better.
She turned me down, citing the economy, nobody's loaning money, nobody can borrow now, two owneers of her few listings may lose their houses, and it's taking a toll on her...

How is it where you folks are? Is anyone listing? Is anyone closing on sales? Is this really a bad time to list? Should I rent it for a while?
