Been keeping a low profile these days, but was just curious what I should expect from a real estate agent. Basically my wife is freaking out saying our agent isn't doing our job because she hasn't sold our old house yet. We kind of had to go on the two mortgage plan because our market wasn't accepting contingent deals for some reason.

Anyway, we've had only 2 showings in 3 months. It's not exactly like we lived in a mansion. It's a $210k house and we were the first owners. She was johnny-on-the-spot when she was getting us to buy our new house, but since we moved in we rarely hear from her.

Should I expect something from her often if there's no news anyway? My wife is wanting me to basically tell her we're going somewhere else at the end of her contract and the whole second mortgage thing is causing a lot of stress on our relationship.

Just wanted to see what you guys have dealt with in the past and if I'm being reasonable in saying: "We don't know if she's doing a bad job or a good job if no one is coming." I just don't want to bash someone when we really can't force people to buy our house.
