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.

Is "green-washing" a thing in real estate?

I spent $40k on a high-end heat pump and solar array last year. My agent says it won't actually change my comps, but it makes the house more marketable. Am I just out that $40k, or is there a specific way to find buyers who actually pay a premium for zero-utility-bill homes?

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?
