Fee for service RE agent

[James Rodgers]

I have a good friend, basically a mentor, who is also a very experienced RE agent. I have also been working directly with another agent while searching for investment properties. 

I am about to put my house on the market FSBO. we are selling it to move into a "house-hack." Im selling it myself because I have so little equity in it and need as much as possible for a down payment on this MFR.

I want to get it on the MLS. Is it insulting for me to ask either of my personal aquaintaces to list it for a flat fee and leave it alone? Should I seek out a complete stranger agent? Or is it silly of me to not ask a friend or the lady I've been working with to do something simple for some cash?

Thanks BP'ers.
