I would hire a handy man and ask your stbx to contribute 1/2 the bill. I would find the inference that someone's time is more valuable than mine insulting too. Keep in mind that divorce is often 'unfair' to one or both parties. Accept that and move ahead with your plans to sell. The goal here is to get rid of your ex and anything that keeps you tied to him. If it means you take control of the situation, so be it.
Some Realtors do have compassion. Still, their job is to sell your home, not mediate any negotiations between the two of you...although I have been successful at both, lol. Hopefully your next Realtor has some compassion for the difficult situation you're in.
