Yes you can take down his sign,

You will stll pay him if your house sells during the timeframe outlined on your contract

Sudhir,

To be fair to your current listing agent, I would discuss your dissatisfaction with the agent and/or the broker in an effort to resolve any issues as the bulk of the work in listing a property for sale is at the outset and withdrawing a listing wtihout giving the agent a chance to correct an issues in my view, is not prudent.

In the meantime, review your listing agreement in full. Should your needs continue to not be met, then u need to argue your case with the Broker and NOT the agent . . . and I'll leave it at that as it would be unethical for me to comment further.

Love and Peace,

FSOB ~ I instruct anyone you are brave to do this you must know the state law of selling any property many assumed buyers look for innocent owners BAM you are facing a lawsuit .

If you are unhappy discuss why's with listing agent

Terminate any contract review terms and conditions listing agreement up to broker release you .

You have been provided with some excellent information....we would like to weigh in and make a point for the importance of identifying why you are not satisfied with your current agent. Have you met with him and expressed your concerns? Has he provided you with an account of what is being done to market your property? Is the asking price in step with the current local market trend?

We suggest that you seek a clear understanding of the issues at hand prior to moving on....or you could find yourself transferring your current problems to the new agency.

Best wishes,

Typically you can fire an agent for non-performance, but if they can prove otherwise it can turn into a legal mess. What I would recommend is a simple call to the broker in charge, and let them know you are not satisfied with the services you are receiving. They will either let you out of the contract, or will put some pressure on the agent to perform.

Good Luck!

Sudir: You have a contract. It tells you what you can and can't do. That's where you start.

Now, just why are you "unhappy"? If you can't sell the property (no offers) and your agent has recommended a lower price or a repair or clean up of some sort, ignoring him/her will do you no good. Agents and brokerages have no magic wands. We cooperate with each other in order to uncover every buyer we can. If your complaint is simply that you see no action, you might find that switching to another agency or selling on your own will not get you any more activity unless you fix what your agent has told you needs fixing..

If the agent seems lackadaisical or out of the loop, you can always talk to the manager of the agency that holds the contract. To begin with, the contract is with the agency, not the individual agent. Most managers will do everything they can to straighten out the problem. That could even include switching you to a different agent in the office, one who was more compatible to your way of working. The manager may also be in a position to give you advice as to what might be wrong with your presentation. He will be more experienced and less invested in your specific listing, allowing more candors and a more neutral eye.

If you are totally bummed out, as they say, you may just ask them to give you back the contract and then you may do as you please. If they insist that you remain off the market until their listing runs out (Yes, I've seen it done and done recently,) you may have to document their failure to render proper service and force the issue. It will be much more difficult to get another agency involved if they see a potential conflict on the horizon.

Contracts, it is said, are made to be broken. Sometimes the cost of the crash as they break is not worth the game, so be careful.

Of course, when getting involved with a contract, you get involved with the potential need for attorney representation. This may be more expensive than it's worth.

Lots of luck with this one.

Yes, You need to talk to your agent or the broker of that company and see how they can fulfill your needs.
Ofcourse as a owner you can list your house without any realtor by doing proper marketing , understanding the buyers mind, right pricing, staging your home etc...

A well knowledgable realtor knows these technique and may help to sell it fast and at a good price.

Terminating a listing agreement is called withdrawal. There are two types of withdrawals. What the company will first offer is a 'conditional withdrawal'. That means your home would not longer be marketed and listed as active in the multiple listing service, but it cannot be sold with out paying a commission to the listing broker.

You want an 'unconditional withdrawal'. This basically states that your listing agreement is null and void and your free to do as you wish.

Hi Sudhir,

On signing the listing agreement & during the marketing presentation form this agent, there are some basic services that are covered.
These include but are not limited to : Putting the listing details on the relevant MLS ( Mercer county)
setting up a lockbox for access, brokers Open House, public open house, advertising by just listed postcards.

Also, accessibility & good followup & communication.

When you hired this agent, you must have perceived something that set him/her apart from other agents.

For eg. an aggressive email & internet marketing plan, their local expertise in East WIndsor & knowledge of the development , the schools , commute options, knowledge of your property model vs others & most of all the buyer profile for your home............this would be the marketing audience.

If they promised all this & failed to deliver......specifically what was the lack of performance on?

I do want to add...........if you listed with a limited service agency , a flat fee broker or an agent who discounted the commission at your insistence..........you get what you pay for.

And, the listing agreement is with the agency, not the agent.

You could ( after your talks with the agent) contact the office manager & voice your concerns to see what could be done to improve the situation for all concerned.

If that does not help then write a letter to the manager listing the issues of non-performance & seek a withdrawl.

A lot of times, it is a difference in expectations that have not been clearly communicated that will result in a situation like this ( exception is the dscounted commission listing.......)

Also, I believe in the cordialty between agents that add value to our work & reputation.

It is not professional for other agents to be scoping this unfortunate situation as an opportunity to make another look bad or through false empathy point out how they can do a better job for you.

Neither is it in line with the NJ Assoc of realtors rules & ethics that agents are required to comply with

Please fairly examine the interaction you have had since interviewing this agent & then take the appropriate steps outlined above.

Good luck.
Regards
Shalu

Hi Sudhir,

No one will make you stay in a listing agreement if you are not happy. Talk to the manager of the agency and tell them you wish to withdraw your listing because you are not happy. Go to another agency and do your research and choose someone with experience & interview them first. The one you have the best feeling about choose them.

If you need more information please contact me I will be happy to interview with you when you get released from your present listing agreement.

Good luck and let me know how you make out.......

Hi Sudhir,
You can terminate an agreement to sell but each company is different with how they handle it. Some are tougher to get out of agreements than others. Have you talked to your agent and told him why you are unhappy? Sometimes in this business things get hecktic and us agents as much as we try to keep in touch with our buyers weekly get side tracted. You should try talking to him and let him know what you expect from him. A lot of time we are doing a lot more than our clients realize. Just keeping your listings fresh on sites like this is a lot of work. I hope I helped and good luck with the sell of your house!

You can ask your agent for an unconditional release, if they ask why tell them the truth that you are not happy with them, if they say no that you have a contract tell them that you know longer whant to sell your house and that you want to withdraw the listing. If you have any questions please give me a call.
