Real estate agents don't get to choose how long their clients' home is on the market.
Quite often real estate agents work with people who want to sell quickly, and therefore price their homes lower than if they had more time to sell.
Also, the advice that real estate agents give on setting prices is often ignored by their clients. Clients routinely think that they know better about how to price their own home than the agent -- even an agent who's been in the business for many decades and who's sold hundreds or thousands of homes.

Like hell they don't. The real estate agent's job is literally to sell the house. If a house takes 3 months to sell it is likely because either the agent isn't doing their job, or the seller is not heeding the agent's advice.
