cvmom,
I think you’re on the right track, and getting great advice – make the decision that’s right for you. Consider the relief/lower stress component, you can’t put a number on it but it has value.
I’m a realtor, and we’ve been covering the CV market at http://www.bubbleinfo.com
I also have a youtube on hiring a listing agent:

I just sold a comp for yours about a block away, and if you are considering other agents, I’d be happy to help you.

Now everyone has the same access, and no advantage available to the quickest, especially when you consider how fast buyers gravitate to a new listing. Sellers are caught off-guard by the incoming phone calls within minutes of hitting the MLS, and get spooked. It is tough to get a seller/listing agent to commit, when there is so much early action.
So the name of the game now is securing the sale, which usually means navigating the multiple-offer environment, and/or convincing a listing agent to take your deal when there are so many birds in the bush.
