Find a Top Real Estate Agent Near You

Can I fire my real estate agent and hire a new one?

My agent is non-responsive and i think he's doing a horrible job negotiating the sale of my house. We've had interest but no one puts in an offer. Can I get rid of him and hire a new realtor? I live in maryland

Yes, you can get an appraisal. Google appraisers near me and reach out to one. If you want a market analysis a real estate agent can get that done for you. If you need help with selling we can help you. 518-526-4964

Yes, you can. Sounds like you may have chosen the wrong realtor. I would call their manager.

Yes you can, and the terms to do so would be outlined in your Listing agreement with the Brokerage. I would first have an honest conversation with your agent and the Broker and explain your displeasure. As a seller you must also be open to honest opinions concerning the price, location, condition. Agents often are able to solicit feedback from the showing agents and what they and their clients say and feel about the property and why they are not willing to move forward with an offer.

Good evening, I am sorry to hear that you are having this problem. If possible, inform your agent of your feelings and concerns, allow him to respond. If you are still not having your needs met reach out to his broker. The broker can assign another agent to help you in this process. If this does not work for you, write a letter and email to both the broker and agent stating you would like to remove your home from marketing and cancel the listing agreement as soon as possible. Wait until you have communication/something in writing, email, letter, text etc. You will also have to wait until the property is off the market before another broker/agent can create a listing agreement with you to market your property. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great evening.
