Can I fire my listing agent if we’re already under contract
My agent has been a nightmare, slow communication and they missed a deadline in the escrow instructions. We are mid-deal. Can I switch agents now, or am I stuck with them until closing? I don't want them getting a full commission for work I feel like I'm doing myself.

How do I sell a house that has an active AirBnb next door?
The house right next to me just became a short-term rental and it's basically a party house every weekend. Do I have to disclose this to potential buyers? I’m worried that if they see the 'vacationers' during an open house, my property value is going to tank.

What is a soft launch and does it actually work
My Realtor suggested a coming soon period for two weeks where we don't allow showings but build hype on social media. Does this actually result in higher offers, or is it just a way for the agent to find their own buyer before it hits the MLS? I don't want to miss out on the open market.

Do price reductions make my home look “desperate” to buyers?
If I lower my price after listing, will buyers see it as a sign of weakness, or is it a normal part of the selling process?

How do I handle a commission-free buyer?
I listed my house and an unrepresented buyer just toured it. They told me that since they don’t have an agent, I should knock 2.5% off the price. Is this a fair trade, or am I taking on all the legal risk by doing the paperwork myself? How do I protect myself from a DIY buyer?

Do I need to tell people about the creepy thing that happened next door?
Something creepy happened in the condo next to mine. I don't want to get into the details here, but it was enough to make me want to move. Do I need to tell the agent about this? Or do I need to tell the people moving in about it, or is that not my problem?

We love our rose bushes and have put a lot of effort into maintaining them over the years. They hold a lot of memories for us. We're downsizing and want a piece of this house to take with us. Can we dig them up and take them to our new home?
I have smart home tech. How do I transfer these without giving personal info?
