Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
if everything left in the house has gotta go no matter what then suggest you do as we did with MIL's house...1-800-GOTJUNK. 2 guys, 1 truck, we pointed, they took. the boss told us that most of what they take is given/sold to other outfits for re-sale or recycled. only a small portion is junked. true or not the house was empty. 3-bedroom ranch formerly occupued by a horder!. bill was about $400 +/-.
then hire out a local landscaper to rehab the lawn, a couple of college kids on craig's list to paint, etc. you'll spend but nowhere near $3500. and i'd dump the realtor fir not being forthcoming with you. that's a serious ethical lapse. what else aren't you being told? once trust is broken like this it's very hard to re-establish.
good luck
