How to get tough with agent?

Or am I being unreasonable??

I live in a highly sought after area where houses get snapped up in days. Due to referendum houses are perhaps taking maybe 2 weeks to sell.

My house has been on the market for 4 weeks. I had 3 viewings straight away and nothing for 3 weeks.

I found a house I love and have reduced my asking price by nearly 10k to try and sell. Taking me to 5k below asking price of similar - but needing modernisation - homes (those homes both came on the market the beginning of month and are now sold).

My neighbour sold their home for 10k more than mine (full asking) just over a month ago in 24 hours.

We aren't talking hundreds of thousands for my home so reducing the asking the price of that much is quite a bit and will have an impact.

My house is fully renovated and my agent has said its spotless and totally sellable. It also is top spec, for a good price. They don't know why there's been no viewings.

Ive told them that I need to sell as the house i need in my budget are like gold dust (I had offer accepted but I'm not proceedable on it)

Am I being OTT to ask what they are doing to actually market and drum up interest?

If it's relevant, the properties which have sold since mine are also on with the same agent, which is even more annoying.
