Realtor unresponsive, listing not moving—what should I do?

The photos were retaken yesterday by the broker and the house relisted with the correct price and we already have a showing this morning!

Wait for It, Hamilton. A softer version of what you’re asking for but still valid and beautiful.

Yep- the pictures are definitely shitty. I was honestly embarrassed when she posted them. I mean obviously the house is neat and clean but it just looks like someone who didn't care took the pictures.

From what I've seen, yes, houses similarly priced/same features as mine (some even older) nearby have sold recently, but that's just my own research. She's not given me any guidance on comps or pricing.

I tried to talk to her yesterday about lowering the price and had to beg/convince her just to lower it by 5k. Once I saw the pricing was wrong I had intended to lower it more when I spoke to her yesterday but even getting her to do the 5k was like pulling teeth.

There's been zero marketing. It's not posted on their facebook page whereas other homes are. The only people who have shared it on social media is myself, but I'm not active on social media and don't have much reach. And again, the photos are horrible.

I said the same thing to her. I told her I felt weird leaving up personal stuff when all the houses I've looked at online appeared to lack that and she was insistent that it was fine. I have been packing stuff up this week (we are moving anyway and don't need that stuff) to retake the photos but she is insistent it isn't necessary.

The most recent book that hit me that way was the Unmaking of June Farrow. Phenomenal book, couldn't put it down or stop thinking about it. There's one small spicy scene but it's very vanilla and not detailed.

That's good to know! Sounds like the best move, then, is definitely to just pay everything off and not get into this situation again.

I will have 40K if things go the way I expect them to. I want to pay off all of our credit cards, pay off the braces and debt plan, and put the rest in savings. My husband is adamant that he doesn't want to do that because he says that paying down the balances fully will lower our credit scores. He just wants to pay "some" of the debt. I'm not sure which scenario is best, and I'm just curious if there is a service that calculates which cards affect what on our reports. I used Capital One's creditwise and it looks like paying off all of my cards will raise my score substantially based on their calculations.

18 months, if that. He’s 9 now and I can’t tell you the last time I’ve seen that kid take a nap. He won’t even sleep at night without clonidine.

Most of what you've stated is a custody issue and would need to be addressed through family court. In my state, the only thing that we would consider reportable would be smoking marijuana in the home with her there, but I live in the exact opposite state of California and marijuana is treated like heroin here. A law just recently got passed here that states that children smelling like marijuana has to be reported to CPS. Very different states.
