RE: "It seemed as though the Agent thought they were doing me a favor for trying to sell my property."
I don't know the sales agent nor do I know all the minute details of the conversation. In some ways, maybe he WAS trying to do you a favor. I assume you have considered using a real-estate sales-agent because you feel he/she knows more about the local real-estate sales then you do?
I worked as a sales-agent for a few years in NY for ERA - back when "Electronic Realty" was something unique. I was not very good at it mainly because I was NOT pushy enough. I also found a general disrespect from many property sellers, as if all sales-agents are shysters and it is okay to jerk them around, lie to them, waste time with, break promises with, etc. This stuff works both ways.
That all said, I sold my last two properties myself. My farm and woods in central NY had a farm-house in need of a lot of work. I was told that if I wanted to get top dollar, the place would need to get fixed up enough so a potential buyer could get financing. I took no offense to that, since it was true. I just wanted to get out of central New York so bad, I took a down-payment on the one place and hold a 5 year mortgage on it (3 years to go before the last balloon payment). I did that by advertising on Craigslist. I tell you what. After dealing with over 50 people who treated me like a real-estate agent (even though I am just a private seller) - it almost cured me from ever dealing with the public again. Lots of BS and lying, along with many who could not afford to pay for a six-pack of beer, much less my property.
Recently sold our other place in the central NY Adirondacks for cash. Hired an agent from Blue Mountain Lake who was very straight forward. I told him I just wanted out and was doing no more work on place. He said fine - he'd just list it, and show it, and see what kind of offers came in. Sold it for cash within three months. Heck, the agent even then bought my chainsaw I had in storage there.

George bought his Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00.
