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.

Do price reductions make my home look “desperate” to buyers?

If I lower my price after listing, will buyers see it as a sign of weakness, or is it a normal part of the selling process?

How do I handle a commission-free buyer?

I listed my house and an unrepresented buyer just toured it. They told me that since they don’t have an agent, I should knock 2.5% off the price. Is this a fair trade, or am I taking on all the legal risk by doing the paperwork myself? How do I protect myself from a DIY buyer?

Do I need to tell people about the creepy thing that happened next door?

Something creepy happened in the condo next to mine. I don't want to get into the details here, but it was enough to make me want to move. Do I need to tell the agent about this? Or do I need to tell the people moving in about it, or is that not my problem?
