If you've already signed an exclusive contract with a buyer’s agent or listing agent, it’s important to review the terms and bring these up with your agent. If you need a new agent who can help you find a home on a tight schedule, for example, you might need to have a conversation with your current agent and explain why the partnership isn’t working out. Having an honest conversation with your agent about your needs may be enough to convince them to terminate the agreement. If the agent refuses to let you out of the contract, your next best option is to contact the agent’s broker.
