Should I get a new realtor? Selling a house in foreclosure

Sorry I know this sub gets this question a lot but hopefully I can get some answers here.

I live in VA and have received a notice from my lender two weeks ago that my home will be foreclosed. Lender claims it will take 60 to 90 days but I’m feeling uneasy about it. I feel like it might happen sooner and I’m losing sleep over it. It’s my first foreclosure on my very first home ( not my choice but the job market sucks) I contacted a realtor to see if I could list the home before I went into foreclosure. I do have equity and I would hate to lose it. The home is older not the best( it’s a flipper house) so it needs work. However I but I figure I should get something for at least.

The problem I have is my realtor. I understand I can’t make anyone buy the house however. It’s been a month since I’ve last heard from them. I’ve sent a text message twice within that time frame just asking for an update and I get nothing in response. Even when I called I have not received a callback. Again I know I can’t make someone buy the house but the lack of response is just very concerning. My gut says it’s time to move on but I don’t want to jump prematurely.

I’m out on medical leave but I have not been paid, I’m well behind on bills ( which is the only phone calls I do get regularly) needless to say it’s all extremely stressful. Combined with the realtor bit, my gut feeling is to find someone else but I’m not sure if it’s just anxiety and I’m being impatient.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
