Listing on Facebook (whilst with an agent)

What's the situation if I list my house for sale on Facebook marketplace? If I send all queries on to the agent? Or could the agent object anyway? What am I missing here?

I saw a house I viewed do this. My assumptions were a) my god they must now be desperate and b) their agent must be terrible.

I don't know how it works with an EA but we are buying in a private deal... a lot of houses are sold without an EA.

It doesn't mean people are 'desperate' in fact actually the BEST houses often sell before hitting the market because they don't need and EA to sell it for them.

It was particular to THIS house. It had been on the market for two months and when we viewed, turns out the EA had hugely misrepresented the size of the garden.

Personally I think I would try to avoid them for two reasons a) FB marketplace is full of idiots and timewasters so could be a seller's nightmare and b) a good EA holds a chain together when it's falling apart.

Double listing could waste a lot of OP's time.

I would be happy to be proven wrong!

Nothing wrong with you posting for advice on eg kerb appeal.

With a link.
