Edit: I should've added this but the reason I would say not to hire a family member is because there is no way to fire them without hurting the relationship. I only use my MIL because my husband does not see these as problems.
I don't know the best advice for how to avoid this because my realtor is my mother-in-law but she makes every aspect of the process more stressful. She has untreated ADHD and is so forgetful that I have to remind her to do things.
We have been prepping to sell for over a month. A week and a half ago I told her we were ready to list, we just needed to schedule her cleaner and photographer. She never followed up with me. I scheduled a cleaner I found online and told her we needed the photographer ASAP or I could find my own. She finally got back to me and scheduled a date to do the paperwork.
The day of the paperwork she forgot some of the items we needed to fill out. She told me she dragged her feet because she didn't believe our house would be in picture ready condition. She changed her mind when she walked in. She sent me a link that was supposed to make the seller's disclosure easier and it was literally a digital version of the paper so you still had to fill it out by hand.
She told us the house would be listed Tuesday and it is now Wednesday and we are still not listed online.
