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.

Should I take my house off the market for the holidays and then relist in January? Or is it better to just leave it on. I don't want to deal with showings during the holidays and I think it will be slow anyway. If I take the house off the market and relist does that look bad? Or is it bad if I leave the house on the market and it sits for days and days? Then it seems like the listing is dead

How do I know when to refinance?

I bought a house about a year ago. My interest on the loan is pretty high. How do I know when it's the right time to refinance? I want a lower rate. I'm worried if I jump on the first rate drop that I'll miss out on something better later.
