sheesh. RUN! lol
i refuse to even deal with one untill the very end, and only if i have to (goverment owned homes for example)
but most people haven't learned as much as i have about the process. good luck. do as much foot work u can yourself. i have dealt with so many realtors that couldn't even find the deals i could, or i would take them info on a property i wanted to look at and they couldn't find anything on it. and just like the lenders...they only tell you what you ask about. n for those who don't know what to ask (which is most) ur just outta luck

n as far as i'm concerned lol (so many realtors r gonna hate this stuff lol) u can't even go by word of mouth really cause everybody THINKS they got a good deal.....lol just like buying a new car, then u hear that ur buddy got his for $2500 less n u realize u were hosed. BUT now is the time to buy!!!! don't miss out!! do it this year...stock up on your little investment properties while they r dirt cheap

David, this is Arlene Minar from Realty World. If you have not signed a representation agreement with this realtor that lacks luster and you are not happy with her, then by all means, you can start with another realtor and let that realtor call her and tell her that he/she is now working with you so there is no misunderstanding. Once you find a realtor you like, then stay with that realtor until the end. Otherwise, involving two realtors can get ugly. Sincerely, Arlene Minar, 361-765-6632.

Hey David, well this is a "people business", not just a house business, and if you have to part ways with your Realtor then so be it. It is a shame, and I sure hate to see any person in a full commission job put in work and get no benefit, however if you feel like they are not doing the job then it's your decision.

Personally, I never ask a client to sign any buyer loyalty agreement. I've been doing this too long and sometimes I may even refuse to work with someone myself if I feel they are going to be unreasonable and not listen to counsel. So yeah, it works both ways, buying and selling requires communication between all parties and you have to like your business partner in a real estate transaction.

By the way, I'm in Dallas, but I can do loans anywhere in TX if you need help on that. (I'm a Realtor and wife does loans). Check us out at the website below..

David,
I would have to agree with Jackie , While it is true you are not legally bound, morally it would be kind to allow the agent to correct any errors on thier part. If it is a personality conflict, then by all means go with the other agent and at least let your prior agent know this is your choice. But check the new agents productivity and thier prior customer's references . This way you could better assess what is best for you. As agents our customers satisfaction is the top priority.
Best of Luck,
Jackie Thomas

David ,

Unless you signed an agreement to work exclusively with a specific agent you are fre to work with anyone you wish.

Good luck

David,

I am curious as to why you would say "yes" to a Realtor that you find lack luster at best? Obviously, it's in your best interest to work with someone who you feel comfortable with and that you feel is doing a great job. If you haven't signed any agreement then you are not legally bound to her, however to be fair maybe you should let her know that you are unhappy. Maybe she thinks she is doing what you want and doesn't realize you aren't getting the service that you desire. Lack of communication can certainly cause a lot of problems. If you don't feel comfortable telling this to her personally, at least send her an email explaining what the problems are. You might be surprised to find out that she steps up her service and ends up being great. No Realtor likes unhappy clients because we base our business on referrals! Good luck David!!

Jackie

If you have not signed an Exclusive Buyer Agency agreement with your current realtor, you are free to work with whomever you please.
