In Maryland ( where I'm from ) the service I used was quite different.
Our number was listed, we were even provided yard signs.
Agents now, are either buyer's or seller's agents. We would deal with "buyer's" agents, whose fiduciary duty was to the buyer, not us.
In our case, the "seller's agent" (our agent) was technically Mr Lister. And the fee was a flat $600, for a specified listing period (don't remember the time frame).
Sounds like the outfit you retained worked quite differently.
