try to sell a home that needs work in so seattle. can't seem to get any agent info on line. can you help
My stepdaughter has an agent she is working with to sell her home in Wilmington. An offer has already been accepted on another house contingent upon the sale of her current house. The agent has told multiple people involved in the sale of the new house that the current house would be sold in 8 days. We are now 23 days in. The agent was late to the open house (not sure she would have made it if it wasn't for us asking when she would be at the house) and has had no communication unless we initiate it. How should we proceed from here as time is of the essence getting our current house sold so as not to loose our new house?
