Contract termination ?

We’re in GA trying to sale our house. As I get to know our agents, we notice they use multiple phone numbers to call and text us, and never inform us house showing schedule when we requested they simply said “ we have no time for this Day before the home inspection my husband drove to GA home he arrived late night and he saw multiple room lights was on and several doors were unlocked. The day of the home inspection buyer showed up at least 10 cars and full of the family and friends were in the house and after 4 plus hours of the inspection my husband noticed the wood floor was ripped out and backed gate looks like someone forcefully lifted up and it’s misshaping will not close. We quickly notified to agent they offered to fix it and they are requesting another home inspection again, but we told them not to without owners present and authorized. However buyer and inspector came to our house asked for door lock code we have changed. We refuse to give up the code tell them to leave but agent were pressure us to tell lockbox code. Unfortunately we have to call police request for property inspection and now our house is on watch by police officer and neighbors. After the incident agent send us transaction information for us to provide Persona who will be taking care of transportation name “ Areal kiss” We refuse to give up any information and I want to terminate the contract. Also this third party is using low cost GA agent and they told the agent don’t deal with us directly it’s the third party’s deal. Please tell me what is the best way to deal with them because they have no physical address or real phone number and we can’t find them social media either

Do I need to put 20% down?

I'm really struggling to save 20% for a home. I just watch home prices go up while I'm trying to get to that 20% mark. I can afford a mortage and am looking to stay within the amount that I'm comfortably paying for rent. It's just the 20% is such a big number and I'm looking at years to get there. So, how much can/should I put down on a house without putting myself in financial jeopardy?

Just got the title report and it’s 40 pages of legal jargon. It mentions an easement and a lien from 1994. What are the specific things I should pay attention to of in these documents? I try to read them and just can't make sense of most of them. My agent said it's important to read them.

I'm preparing to move and I'm not taking a lot of my current items. I've started selling them on Facebook marketplace. I have a lot of nice items and I'm hoping to make aboubt $5,500 after selling everything. My agent is getting upset and telling me my loan could get pulled because of this?! Is this possible? I don't want to move with these items and I was hoping the sale of them could cover some of the costs of closing and moving.
