Personally, I would give VLS the first chance to sell my house, but I would not give them a six month listing. It would be 90 days max and I would reserve the right to fire them at any time that I lost confidence in them. After 90 days, I would switch to an MLS agent for another 90 days. For any listing, I would use a very experienced agent and they would need to provide a written plan for marketing the house. I would never sign a boilerplate listing contract without reading it and negotiating terms that I did not like. Too many people think they need to sign whatever listing contract the agent presents to them. Also, whenever I have sold a house, the agent would ask me how much I wanted for the house. My answer was always, "you are the professional, you tell me what it is worth."
