the expectation of the selling agent
I probably did a wrong thing from beginning. I negotiated the fee with the agent and cut the point to 4.5%. But I think it's fair because other agents I interviewed offered this price right from beginning.
The house has been empty for two weeks now and we are still trying to find a painter. Nothings is done. The agent is busy and he sold 7 houses (as a buyers agent) in 3 weeks and more houses coming soon. I am sure my house gets less attention.
I may have wrong impression ... I guess what I am trying to ask is what should I expect from a listing agent? Should I rely him to arrange the repair, landscape, painting and staging? He does need to get my opinion/approval to make decisions, or should I take over some items myself? The communication is a little bit lagging and the whole thing is not moving fast enough.
