It’s in the contract that any amount up to like 1% or 2% of the selling price has to be done and you have no say over it once you have signed a listing agreement.

EXACTLY what happened to me. I would have walked away and wish I had. The type of contract written did not allow me to do so. Now I have so many repairs that need to be done--even though the house was FUNCTION.
Go to an outside agent, using MLS--imho. Either that or For Sale By Owner. In a hot market you can easily navigate this with FSBO and you keep 3% more of your selling proceeds.
