Is there a difference between a selling and buying agent?
I want to sell my house. I talked to an agent that has only helped people buy houses, but he wants to help me sell my house. I'm wondering if he lacks experience or training and if he's qualified to sell since he hasn't done it before.

Should I take my house off the market for the holidays?
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

If I'm sick should I show my house?
Should I show my house if I'm sick? Or should I cancel the showings until I'm not contagious? Of course, I wouldn't stay in the house for the showings, but I'm wondering if having a showing when germs are in the house is a no-no. Also, I don't want to miss out on a potential buyer by canceling showings for several days.

I want to sell my home but it wasn’t professionally built?
The home is an owner built home. No professional builder was involved. Everything was done by the owner who was not a licensed or skilled contractor. How does the market value these homes? Would it qualify for financing or cash only? Do I have to sell it As-is and/or disclose it as an owner built home?

Hired wrong agent?
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?

What if I think my house should be listed for more?

I've researched the homes around me and what's sold recently that's similar. I know they've also done their research, but I disagree with where they're pricing the house. What should I do?
