I'm not a lawyer, so this isn't legal advice. For legal advice, see a lawyer. However . . .

First, it's unclear whether you mean a verbal agreement to list your home with an agent, or whether you mean you agreed to sell your home verbally.

In either case, though, a verbal agreement in real estate is legal but unenforceable. It sounds more as if you were discussing a listing agreement with an agent and may have agreed verbally to list it, but you didn't sign any paperwork. If that's the case--and, again, I'm not a lawyer--then you and the agent do not have an agreement and you aren't bound to use that agent in order to sell your home.

Hope that helps.

Hi, you need to have an paper contract / agreement. You need to know about commision. also, forms for MLS.
Are you selling to a company, are you dealing with a Realtor?

Deb,

I don’t believe it is. I would suggest talking more with that agent and explain why you have changed your mind.
