To make this process easier, consider placing a key box in front of the property so the agent can access the home anytime they need it. This will also make the buyers feel more comfortable.

This will make the agent prioritize your property as much as possible. Overall, being flexible regarding price, contingencies, and broker commissions will help speed up the sale of your home in a bad market and net you more money than letting the home linger as prices sink ever further.
