JMO and my experience but the biggest pain and hardest work of selling is the cleaning, decluttering and depersonalising of the house. If the realtor did that, I might have been interested.

Do you feel you got full potential value for your home?
Very few sales (about 2%) happen through open houses, so you're fortunate it worked out so well for you.
Generally, cleaning the house and having open houses isn't enough to sell most homes at maximum potential value.
Is it possible that having a good agent, who would have marketed and exposed your home to more potential buyers might have gotten you a higher sale price?
