I have listened to many Audible books and picked up a few of them as hard copy's afterward. Some books you just need to have the hard copy.  I would suggest to sign up for scribed. It is under 10 bucks a month and has many audio and digital books.

I am happy to say the broker mutually agreed to let us out of the contract. It was hard to come to this point because we personally like our agent. We found out she got a day job which was taking away time from her real estate business. We have found a new possible agent through Redfin and she is going to the house and hopefully give us an honest evaluation of the property. We are newbies and have a lot to learn, this whole process so far has been a great learning experience. 

@Charlie MacPherson Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question. We are going to talk with the broker today. I am hoping we can mutually get out of the contract. Since he took a long time to call us back and didnt call back yesterday after he told us he would. I am thinking its best to part ways. 

@Account Closed Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question. I believe there are multiple reasons the house is not selling. We are having trouble getting anyone to schedule a showing to come see the house. We have been ranked high on Zillow in our neighborhood for majority of the time it has been on the market. We get many views, shares, saves, etc. but not a lot of showings. My wife put our listing on a public forum for opinion and majority of people said our pictures were not that great. So my wife talked with the realtor about changing the pictures and description up to try an attract more people to come see the house. I am not sure if this offended her or not, or she truly is just to busy to handle our listing. We live out of state in Michigan and I believe our realtor lives 45-60 minutes from our home. I don't know if that is a factor or her either. We have adjusted the price 2 times, she didn't ask for any design changes just additional staging (which we did). I think we should adjust the price again, at the same time change out the pictures and description. We were planning on doing all of this, when suddenly the realtor told my wife this news. This is our first flip, and we live in our first home, so my wife and I have no experience selling a home. We are not sure our responsibilities as sellers and our realtors responsibility to sell the home. At first we did not want to step on any toes or get in the way. We don't want to stand on the sidelines and hope we find a buyer, we want to think outside the box and find ways to attract more people to see the home. I don't have any issues or ill will towards the realtor or the agency, we just want to find ways to sell the house. I also want to gain knowledge, skills to help out in these situations in the future to be an asset and a partner to someone rather than a client.

My wife and I recently flipped our first house in Indianapolis. The house has been on the market for over 50 days and had no offers. My wife talked with our agent and she said her new role at her agency did not allow her time to give our house the appropriate attention and she would like to transfer us to her broker. He didn't call until late last night, said he was going to check out the house and call back today. He hasn't called yet. We don't feel like any type of priority to this company and plan on asking him for a mutual agreement to get out of the contract. I'm wondering if there is a easy/legal way to terminate these contracts if he doesn't agree? It looks like a basic 6 month standard listing contract.
