How can we go about selling our house faster?

My husband and I have our house listed through Century 21 and are even having an open house soon but we live in the country (a relaxed atmosphere) and so far have had no takers. We are not asking for hardly any money compared to other houses the same age range and size for the area. We have a son that has medical issues and we need to move to a bigger city to get him closer to his doctors. Does anyone know how we can go about finding a buyer for our house without costing us money that we don’t have?!!!!!?
Our house has been on the market since the beginning of April. We had an open house for other Century 21 real estate agents to come check it out, but this month we have a regular open house. Our agent has our house on realestate.com and on C21′s site but they do not do print ads unless an open house is done.We can’t afford to spend any money in having to pay for ads anywhere because my husband is a dairy farmer and doesn’t make much money. Here is the web address to our house. http://www.century21.com/buy/property_detail.aspx?teasers=property-detail-all+Property+Detail+with+Pictures+and+Tour&tr_key=33693202&bSite=N&City=Pickton&State=TX&BedsMin=3&BathsMin=2

Do I owe my listing agent money if the house doesn't sell and I relist?

I am trying to sell my home and my broker/agent will not hold an open house, will not run print ads, and has only got us ONE SHOWING in 2 MONTHS. I am waiting for the contract to expire to get a new agent. My question is will I owe her any money at the end of the contract? Is it customary to pay a listing charge if you decide not to sign an extension of the contract? The contract states "seller shall pay in cash to broker for services a total commission as follows:00 listing broker." Doesn’t commission mean you sold something??
The contract is vauge. It just says for services rendered. It doesn’t say at closing or anything like that. It just says a commission for services.
Nothing in the contract listing specific marketing plan. Just that she has copyright over the pictures and fliers.
A couple more things: the agent is the broker and we are offering 3.5% to the buyer’s agent. I just have this sinking feeling that this is a con where she does nothing but put a sign in the yard with some fliers and slaps it on the MLS and when the 3 months is up and you are angry that you have had no action, she tells you to pay 00. Sounds like a no-work way of making money. She was a recommendation though. I Googled her before signing the contract I couldn’t find anthying negative.
