How to Fire Your Realtor
This is a tricky situation that many Realtors don’t like talking about. First of all, it can be difficult to get an answer to this question from a Realtor, because they are not allowed to encourage a Seller, under a contract with another Realtor, to get out of that contract. So, what that means, is that this is an excellent question to ask your Realtor before you sign on the dotted line! A listing agreement is a legal binding document. In order to dissolve it, both parties have to agree to terminate the contract and sign a cancellation.
Before you try to get out of your relationship, talk to your Realtor. Remember that communication is the key to any successful partnership. I always ask my Clients to let me know if there is anything they are unhappy with, I make sure they know that I will hear it as a way to improve, and not as a criticism. Most issues can easily be remedied!
What if you and your Realtor can’t work things out? Most agreements are with the Brokerage and not the individual Realtor. A Broker-owner will often be able to remedy the situation simply by re-assigning the Client to another Realtor within their company. Or, as an alternative, they could just give you a cancellation, which releases you from the contract and allows you to select another Realtor.
If you hire the GoWylde Team we are very confident in our excellent service, so much so, that if asked, we will insert a cancellation clause right into the initial agreement with you. We want to have happy, lifelong Clients, who enjoy working with us!
