Realtor Ettiquette

[Jordan Cederdahl]

My wife and I are getting ready to sell our first flip. We have been spreading the word through family and friends for a few weeks. It seemed as though that method was not going to pan out. So, we contacted our realtor (who helped us buy the house) to start the process of putting the house on the market. The day after we contacted the realtor, we got a call from a co-worker of my mother-in-law, saying she is very interested and wants to come look at the house. So, my question is, how should I handle this situation? I want to keep a good relationship with my realtor, but I also would much rather sell the home ourselves. Like I said, this is our first sale, so I don't want to make the wrong move here. Thanks for any help!
