Should I remove my older swimming pool before trying to sell my home?

We have an above-ground pool with a wrap-around deck taking up most of our backyard space. The pool is functional but older, and the deck needs some boards replaced.

How long should we allow inspection objections?

Our buyer completed the inspection over two weeks ago. Sat on it for over a week before asking to come back to the property to get an estimate on excavation (to solve a problem that was not even flagged in inspection). We are still waiting to finalize a deal, based on their objections. Is this reasonable? We are feeling like both realtors have dropped the ball multiple times (on vacation, out of touch, forgot we offered a concession in the original deal, etc). Is this just normal?
