We've been a month on the market?

Our home has been on the market for a month, in good condition and updated. We haven't had a single contract and only a few showings. We live in the country - we're disapppointed in our realtor and we're wondering if we should look for someone new. Our home wasn't showing up on zillow for our area and once we told our agent our concerns he looked into it and it was put in the wrong area on the mls. He has a full time job outside of being an agent. We aren't sure this is a priority. One open house. We've received no feedback from anyone on what we can do better and we have to get out from under this house. Thoughts?

Should we buy a house with mold and foundation issues?

We put an offer on a house and the insepction found that there's mold upstairs and serious foundation issues. We asked the seller to give a credit for the cost of fixing these issues. They agreed to $5k, but it'll be closer to $30K to fix everything. We're wondering if these are major red flags and if we should back out of our offer.rnWe're under pressure because our current house sold and we need to be out in a little over a month.
