Are these reasons to get a new realtor?

Are these reasons to get a new realtor or should I give her some more grace because the market really is that tough right now?

First time seller. Property is a condo/apartment. Been listed for 4 months, no offers. Priced competitively, such that I'm usually the lowest by a few thousand and now it's listed under what it will appraise for.

3 or 4 other exact same units in the same complex have sold since mine went up, some very recently. All listed higher than mine, I think one at the same price.

There is nothing wrong with my property and nothing really different from the others that sold (the only real difference that could be is which way the unit faces the sun and maybe they are closer to to one of the small HOA playgrounds). I have 10k in new upgrades as of a month ago with the HVAC.

The following are things I'm wondering if my realtor didn't do so well at.

We had one open house at the start (the others had more). I asked if we will have more and she said no, so we didn't.

I don't think the pictures of my listing are very good. Lighting issues, angle issues, weird aspect ratio, etc. Nothing was staged, I just did the best I could to make things look good. A couple of pictures I thought were so bad I took some with my phone and those are now on the official listing instead. I have no training and no skill at this and I think my pictures are just as good as the professional ones.

A few days ago I remembered at the start of all this my realtor had said we would have agent showings twice a month. That never happened. Those will be starting soon, though. We will also be doing more open houses. But I'm frustrated about why werent those things being done from the beginning.

My place now has the stigma of being on the market for 4 months. Plus I am under a bit of a deadline to sell this place. My realtor said we could take it off the market for a month and that would reset the listing to new. She said that's the only way. After four months, I don't have a month to take it off and wait, especially as people are showing more interest with the mortgage rate dropping a bit.

Are these reasons to get a new realtor? I do have an agreement with this current one but it ends in two months. And won't getting a new realtor reset the listing as new immediately?

The realtor hasn't done anything bad per say, I just feel like, I don't know, neglected? Like again, why are we doing all these new things we should have been doing months ago?

Or is the market really that tough right now and I should give my realtor some more grace?
