pokeable | How can I "fire" my real estate agent after signing a dual agency agreement? |
First time home buyer. Found a home I liked, signed the dual agency agreement with the seller's agent (I didn't have my own agent, yeah yeah yeah I know now), placed a bid, then had the home inspection. The results of the inspection were bad so we backed out of the deal.
Now, this agent I have the agreement with, is never available. Talks about dropping acid/LSD. Hits on my girlfriend and tries to invite her to his home to "see the dogs and go swimming" (my girlfriend is 20, he is 55 and married). Lost our deposit check. Wanted us to sign paper work at his home until the broker said he couldn't. He never knows anything, this man couldn't even figure out how to turn on his printer.
Can I get out of the agreement, or am I stuck with him for the next 3 months? |

Contact his broker. Every broker I know about would immediately cancel the agreement under these circumstances. Good luck. |

A real estate agent (all agents) have a duty to act in a professional and ethical manner.If you read your original contract it will be clearly stated in Duties Owed. You could file a complaint with the Real Estate Commission against him or talk to his broker(who is responsible for him) and state you want out of the contract unconditionally. Start interviewing agents to represent you in your next transaction. Sorry this had to happen to you but there are agents out there who really do have your best int erst in mind. |

I would definitely contact this broker as well- what a creep! Your agency agreement is likely with the brokerage, not with the specific agent, in which case the broker can re-assign you to another agent. They want to retain the sale, and keep you happy for future business! |

WOW, seems to me that you could contact the agent's broker (his boss). I would think they would gladly let you out of the written agreement. If that does not work, contact your local real estate board office, or state commission...What state are you in ? I might can help. What company is this guy licensed with ?
Oh, and just for the record, Dual Agency works just fine if you have the "RIGHT" agent!
I'm with Re/Max and can't imagine not letting someone out of an agreement if they wanted out.
Why did you lose your deposit ? Under normal circumstances, if the offer you wrote was contingent on the home inspection, and that didn't pass, you should be entitled to your deposit back ! |

You need to talk to the agent's qualifying broker that is really who your agent is. The viagra king is a subagent. Explain your feelings to the qualifying broker and I'll bet that first another agent can be assigned to your liking or they'll let you off the agreement.
I hate it when stuff like that is done. Gives us a bad rep. if any of my agents did that and I could prove it their independent contracts would be history.
Sorry you had to go through that, best of luck with the next one. |

Call his broker as the others have stated and I believe the "dual agency" was only for that one deal.
Frankly I would find another broker all togeather, one that you can trust and has a fiduciary duty to you.
This bad apple does indeed give the profession a bad name.
Good Luck |

Call your agent and leave a message saying how YOU need someone to be there to answer the phone to answer your questions. Also in your message say you would like a referral to another agent. (This way it is a win win situation cause if the realtor refers you they get a percentage) and you get to find someone who will help you. Or you can turn him into the HUD or Realtor association. Get your proof before turning him over also you can speak with his broker (the broker is the boss). |

If the broker will not help you....contact the
Department of RE in your state. Tell the broker in writing that is your next step.
Also, you should not have lost your deposit over a bad home inspection. If the "agent" followed through in the correct manner, you should be able to cancel the offer agreement without penalty.
I have been a Real Estate Broker for 30 years. If I can help you with this, send me an email. |

This is one reason I never deal with agents, literally any bozo can pass that stupid test.
Since you are not buying that house you are not stuck with him. You should report him, please help other hapless people. But, for yourself you can go elsewhere, you just buy that house, or anything else he even mentioned to you from a differant BROKER. If you can't get a broker at least get a REALTOR. Avoid agents, most of them don't have a clue what they are doing. |
