Realtor, Schmealtor

UGGGGGG!! We are two months into selling our house and we've hit a bump. Well, kinda...we like our realtor, but she has been on two "vacations" since we signed on with her and really hasn't done that much for us. We picked her because she was referred to us by another realtor. Part of me thinks that we aren't on a priority list since our house is listed under $150,000. Our "schmealtor" has printed two batches of fliers for our info box outside the house and sent out one email flyer to other realtors. That's it! No mention of her actually bringing in people to look. Where's my listing in one of those little magazines???! I know I pick those up even if I am not looking for a place. Maybe my expectations are too high, but damn we need something!!!
This really has me thinking I should go into the real estate business and sell my own house. Mike and I search the web and find unique ideas, but our realtor doesn't seem receptive. Sure its a tough market, but not so tough that she can't beef it up a notch.
So if you are interested in a cute, little house near the lake, let me know! I'll sell it to you.

do you have to stay with her for 6 months or some other such nonsense?

That's the thing, we don't remember. She has said that if we ever change our minds to please let her know. But I am sure we are tied in somewhere!
