The short answer is no. However, there are a lot of different variables related to underpaying the customary commision that could affect the the highest possible sales price.

Pricing is perhaps the most important factor is selling it quickly. Because every situation is different in regards to condition, tenancy, debt, market, ect... The best person suited to answer that question would be an experienced Realtor familiar in that local market.

The best place to start is by asking your agent for her opinion as to why buyers are backing out. There could be several reason. In the current market interest rates have an impact on the buyers purchase power and it is possible that they were priced out of the market with the latest rate hike. Although agents sometimes do not want to work with one another they usually put those feelings aside in the interest of their client. Lastly, make sure that you ask to see all offers that are sent in writing.

The short answer is yes but are certain legal protections that renters have. Your lease is your first line of protection. Depending on the type of property, its age and local laws you may have additional protections.
