Can my agent legally offer to buy my house herself the day after I sign?

I signed a listing agreement last Tuesday after weeks of interviewing three different agents, finally picked one who seemed sharp and had great photos on her website. Wednesday morning, less than 24 hours later, she calls and offers to buy the house herself, cash, waiving her commission, for 60% of the price we agreed to list at. I said no immediately but now Im wondering if I can get out of the listing agreement entirely since this feels like a huge conflict of interest and I dont trust her anymore.

How can I negotiate a lower price on a home that has been sitting on the market for over 90 days?

There is a property in a quiet suburban neighborhood that has been listed for three months without any price cuts, even though similar homes nearby are selling faster. We are interested in making an offer but feel the current asking price is a bit high given the lack of recent updates. What strategies can we use to show the seller we are serious buyers while still trying to get a more competitive price?

Is it common to negotiate for the seller's furniture or specific appliances to be included in the sale?

We toured a staged home where the patio set and the high-end refrigerator fit the space perfectly, and we would love to keep them as part of the deal. We are not sure if it is better to include these items in the initial offer or wait until after the inspection phase to bring it up. Does asking for personal property usually complicate the negotiation process or is it a standard request in residential real estate?

Should I shop with multiple lenders at once or one at a time?

I am starting my home search in a competitive market and I want to make sure I get the best rate possible. I've heard that multiple credit pulls can hurt my score, but I also want to compare different loan estimates side-by-side. How do most buyers handle the timing of applications to avoid damaging their credit while still finding a competitive deal?
