Default Should I be worried

I hope you dont mind if I ask a quick question, I tried to find the right thread, but didnt know how to post a new question lol . But I am learning lol . I have been stewing all week long with my realtor and the owner's new rules.. I am quite perturbed to put it mildly lol . Anyway to the question: Last year my realtor fee was 5%, this year 7% and non negotiable (believe me...I tried) and these are friends (big mistake). I made a few stipulations before signing alittle over a month ago. First was I wanted a Realtor Open House so they can see the view etc. and not just from pictures. Okie...they moaned but said okie in two weeks. And I said I wanted it advertised in all the big cities (I live in the boonies lol) and they agreed. Long story short, I find out Sunday after not seeing it in any paper that they are not doing it anymore because its too expensive! Ugh! I understand the bad economy, but for 7% commision?!? She said they do one city a week (I think that was to pacify me), and for me not to worry its online and in their catalog. Woohoo big deal lol .
It is a good friend, but I dont have a problem telling her I want out of my contract (well, it wont be that easy lol). Okie sorry I am ranting, and this is getting too long lol. Has anyone experienced this, should I just go with the flow or should it be advertised in more papers? . I know it is expensive. I would appreciate any input. Thank you TOTV friends!
