good afternoon....is the ex-husband living in the home?.anyway.....my opinion is that your mother-in-law should approach the court immediately and ask for a trustee to handle the sale of the home, since she and the ex-husband cannot work things out between them......best regards.bob mcclure- success mortgage partners- plymouth, michigan..

BEING CHOSEN FOR PRINCIPALS IN A COURT ACTION BY THE COURT TO SALE PROPERTY DOES NOT OBLIGATE YOU TO CONTINUE A LISTING IF THE FEASIBILITY OF CONCLUDING A SALE IS NOT POSSIBLE. TH E AGENT MAY HAVE WITHDRAWN THE LISTING DUE TO THE TIME, EFFORT, LACK OF COOPERATION, PRICING OR ANY NUMBER OF OTHER FACTORS. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE RESULTS JUST OUR WORK EFFORT, WHEN WE LIST PROPERTY. AGENTS CAN FIRE SELLERS AS WELL AS SELLERS CAN FIRE AN AGENT. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE LONG TO FIND ANOTHER AGENT WHO WANTS TO LIST A HOME IN TODAY'S MARKET.

Diane,

As previously mentioned, you are venturing into legal territory that can best be dealt with by contacting an attorney.

Good luck

Since both parties are on title the Realtor needs BOTH parties to approve (sign) the listing agreement. Sounds like a job for an attorney.

That would be a question for a real estate attorney. I would suggest you contact a local attorney for assistance in this matter. If you need a referral to a couple of local Hernando County Real Estate attorneys, I would be happy to recommend some to you.

Hope this was helpful - I'm pretty sure it's as helpful as it can be given the circumstances and the information provided.

Thanks,

-Josh
