Can I get out of a Buyer's Agent Contract before the contract date is up?I am very dissatisfied with the
realtor, as he is unprofessional and rude. He brought his fiancee to a showing. She waited in the car, but as I was walking around the yard, he was going over to his car. After he provided me with a counter offer from a seller, he said to me: You are crazy to let a deal like this fall thru over a few bucks. He also said to me: I don't think $8 is going to make or break you. These are just a few small examples of our relationship thus far. Any advice is appreciated.

Theresa,
Mark has hit it. If you are not yet in a contract then yes. Even so in NC you could go to the Broker in Charge and request another agent represent you. If you wish to leave the firm all together you would just have to be with another brokerage if you still wanted that same home in order to not have to deal with them. Wed May 7 2008, 13:50

If the contract is in a counter offer state, this means you are not obligated to buy the home. Tell the agent you want out of the buyers rep agreement. Make sure you get released in writing. What good would it do him if you are unhappy?

Theresa,
First of all, I want to say on behalf of all REALTORS, I am embarrased that this person is making you feel this way. This is not the norm by any means. Secondly, any reputable agent would tell you straight up, than anytime you were dissatisfied with his/her services, you could leave at any time. I explain to my clients, that the buyers rep contract is merely a way for the both of us to know what our relationship entails. I would never hold someone in an agreement that did not want to work with me. I suggest you just tell him upfront that you want out. If he resists, go to his broker and explain the situation. This is more than likely an issue that will not got far at all. Wed May 7 2008, 11:31 Web Reference: http://www.CentralTexasHomeAndLand.com

You may want to call and speak with the manager of the office. You have a contract with the broker, so you could ask for another agent and be specific about your concerns with this agent and what you would expect in the future from your new agent.

I'm sure you can, but I would do it in writing with dated instances of unprofessional actions. Send a copy to the agent and the agent’s broker.
Your agent will be too embarrassed to take further action. Wed May 7 2008, 10:18
