In the divorce settlement, I was awarded the house. And was supposed to put it for sale, put it on the market in 30 days. Why ? We owned a business. He got the business, and I got the house. But why do I have to sell the house?

How long to wait before firing a real estate agent?

I listed a home 3 weeks ago. The agent has said his best sales tool is his website. It took him 1 week to get it on his site (only because I called him) and 3 weeks later he has still not corrected the mistakes on it. His “Hotsheet” which is supposed to have all his listings does not have my home on it. He placed an ad in the paper but it wasn’t distributed in the same part of town as the house. I have held Open Houses and not seen him around. I need to sell this house NOW and he hasn’t even shown the house to a prospective buyer! How long do I wait to fire him? What can I do to get his **** into gear?
I just wanted to add that the advertisement that was placed in the news paper went to the NW part of Phoenix and the home is in the SW part… the NW part of town is where majority of the retirees live.
Also, the open house was with his knowledge, in fact… it was in the ad he placed!
I think that due to the fact in Phoenix the real estate agents didn’t have to do anything 1 year ago to sell a house… they don’t know how to lift a finger and actually do some work to make their sales happen. I think they have gotten lazy… but thats just my opinion.
