What if I disagree with my home valuation?

I talked to an agent about selling my home, and I don't agree with what they said. I get that they're the professional, but it feels like they just want to significantly underprice my home so that they can sell it quickly. I get that overpricing will just turn people away, but I want to reach a happy medium between what they said and what I want. Or should I just talk to a different agent about this? We haven't signed anything yet.

Can I raffle my house?

I read a story about someone raffling off their house. They sold $1 raffle tickets, and 2 million people bought them! The home was worth $1 million. I'm wondering if this is even allowed?! It seems like a crazy idea, but maybe I'd try it if it was legal/possible.

How common is it for a buyer to seek a re-valuation ?

I’m the buyer, my agent says “I’m in shock” when the appraisal came back 50K lower on a manufactured home asking $290,000. Appraisal was $242,000.00. Not “Hey good news your payments might be lower…” I’m in shock at her behavior. Who actively seeks out ways to pay more each month?

Should I replace the garage ceiling before selling my home?

The drywall ceiling in my attached garage is falling down due to improper installation, so it will need to be replaced (including insulation). I am planning to sell my house soon and was wondering if I can expect to recover this expense in the sale, or if I should just remove the old drywall and not bother to replace it. Thanks!

Moving because of neighbors, do I tell my agent?

I'm moving because of my neighbors. They're loud and disrespectful. There have been a lot of issue living next to them. Do I have to tell my agent why I'm moving? I think I would prefer to not reveal this because I'm afraid it will hurt the sale of my house.
