How do I fire my Realtor (I am buying not selling)?

As long as you are genuinely seeking to start your search over, and not purchase a home the agent has brought to your attention it should not be an issue.\n\nA simple written request will satisfy the termination clause in the Exclusive Buyer Brokerage agreement, used in the State of Florida, that I use with my clients.\n\nYour state may be different, and you may want to speak with an attorney.\n\nHowever, as a Realtor, I would much rather be told that a client wants a change. This frees up time for other clients, with whom I may have a better relationship.

It's not illegal BUT it is against the realtor morals, call the real estate board and put in a commplaint with them then call the realtors broker, more then likely they will lose there licence, and recieve some maijor fines.  \nIf you want help I will help, I hate to see my profession down graded.

Yes, I am a mortgage broker also, you are not committed to him unless this is a purchase and you dont have much time left.

Yes. Just give your agent written notice that you'd like to cancel the contract. No agent in their right mind will hold you to that contract because the bad publicity will cost them way more than the 3% they make off of one sale. \n\nJust make sure you're doing it because you don't want to sell. Not because you think you've found a buyer and want to skirt the commission. Then you're looking at a possible lawsuit. \n\nPlus, most of the work the agent does comes after the contract is accepted and before closing. So you'd be on your own with all that and most likely screw something up.

First of all, what town and state is the house in?  Put ads in the newspapers, and contact a Realtor who might have a buyer pre-approved.  You can negotiate the realtor's commission.  This would be your best bet.  Then let the Realtor worry about all the advertising, and all the legal paperwork needed to close a house transaction.

I really need more info, but a good Realtor will do a comparative market analysis (average price per square foot of similar homes sold in the same area over the last few months and shave a few thousand dollars off and may ask for an "as is" addendum to accompany any offers. Has the foreclosure been published yet? You will have at least 90 days (and probably 120) to close the house from the start of foreclosure. Unfortunately, you haven't much time to negotiate. How "hot" is your market? You migh want to see if your Realtor will take a 5% listing, keeping 2% and offering 3% on the MLS. Hope this helps

hire the real estate attorney now that you should have hired in the first place.\n\nreal estate agents should not be doing contracts. i know that many states have them doing so, but real estate agents don't have qualifications beyond the real estate exam.

That is normally not a big deal.  Just tell the Realtor when going in what you are doing.  They would appreciate that greatly...

you need to contact a realtor in that area

The first thing you need to do is talk to them.  Let them know of your plans and give them the option of either buying the home themselves or running the risk of eviction.  Give them options.  Then when you do sell the home, let the new buyers know that you have tenants and give them the option to either keep or get rid of them.  You have to keep open communications with all parties right now.  Also, when you let your tenants know that you are selling, let them also know that people will be coming in to see the house and what your expectations of them are.  Good luck.

List it yourself and try to sell it that way. If that fails you can always seek the assist of a realtor.

Get an agent. Thats how it is done there unless you know someone who is connected.

contact a local realtor, at any office. they should be able to refer you to the appropriate person (attorney, county office, etc), and give you some free advice regarding this matter.\n\nhope this helps!

Let's take a step back here...\n\nI'm going to assume that you have met the following conditions:\n1. Counter-signed contract by both parties\n2. Cashed escrow check deposited by the seller (or escrow agent/title co, someone)\n3. As buyer, you did not default in any way by breaking any timelines, and are currently or were not in default under the contract terms and conditions, including current closing date.\n\nIf you have met these above conditions, the seller would be in default if they did not sell you the property.  In this case each state has specific remedies... along the lines of this:\n\n1. You'd set a closing date (probably set on the contract)...\n2. Seller does not close, therefore in default\n3. File a Lis Pendens (pending litigation)\n4. Begin a Specific Performance proceeding forcing the seller to close.\n5. If seller looses you are entitled court costs, and potentially damages (loss of locked interest rates) and the such.  The court will appoint a referee to handle the sale if the seller is still uncooperative.\n\nYou will want to hire a REAL ESTATE attorney.  Not attorney Bob down the street; make sure that they are real estate attorneys specifically.  There are many ins and outs.\n\nThe seller has probably had a change of heart because they have received another, higher offer while you were in contract.  In most cases they will back down if they know you are represented.\n\nGood luck...

Best thing you can do is apply pressure to your realtor by suggesting that you might take it off the market or sell with someone else if it doesn't sell by a certain date.  There's lots of things they an do to generate interest in your house.\n\nIf that  doesn't work just fire your realtor (in writing) and look up a real estate investor group, and go to the meeting (there are groups like this in every state), they will sometimes by your house commission-free!\n\nLastly, you can always put it up for auction.  It sounds silly but you can generate tons of interest in a semi-desirable property by auctioning it.  There is so much pressure that sometimes you end up getting more then you thought you ever could!
