We did a pocket listing and immediately got an offer. Should we accept it?

We did a pocket listing because we wanted to list at the top end of the recommended price options. We immediately had a showing and an offer at full list price. While we're happy to not have a million showings and open houses, this is literally the first person to walk through our house. Should we wait for more offers? Or do we list the home on the open market and see what happens? We're also happy to have gotten our desired price and maybe we should just take this gift?

Is it better to list with a discount brokerage to save on commission?

I’ve seen brokerages offering lower fees, which sounds appealing. Do sellers typically get the same results with discount agents, or can it impact marketing, exposure, or final sale price?

Can I fire my listing agent if we’re already under contract

My agent has been a nightmare, slow communication and they missed a deadline in the escrow instructions. We are mid-deal. Can I switch agents now, or am I stuck with them until closing? I don't want them getting a full commission for work I feel like I'm doing myself.

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.
