Has my realtor checked out on us?

Homeseller

Our house has been on the market for a month, which is unusual in our area. Houses tend to sell with a week.

It is priced comparably to others in the neighborhood (and all 3 agents we interviewed suggested the same price). We have a new roof and two new AC units, most of the interior has been updated in the last few years. We had it power washed & professionally deep cleaned. Yard work and pool maintenance is all done regularly and looks good.

The agent had seven showings in the first 2 weeks, plus an open house. We had a contingency offer that we passed on because it was just too risky.

Then our agent tells us she is going on a cruise for a week and gives us her secretary’s number. No showings that week. She’s been back a week, and still no showings.

I texted her to ask for any updates today and she responded that we need to lower the asking offer.

I’m okay with that. The market is what it is and if no one is biting then it’s possibly overpriced.

At the same time, it feels like our is realtor just sitting back waiting for offers. She hasn’t done any of the showings herself. Her secretary did the open house. She checked out for vacation and hasn’t really checked back in. How do I know if she’s actively looking for buyers? What kind of questions can I ask to figure out what is going on?
