(_.-~*]BEE[*~-._) | How do I fire my Real Estate agent gently? |
I'm in the process of buying a home, and I feel that I haven't been assisted by my agent at all. I've found a new one who is willing to help me out, but I must first fire the old one. How can I do this gently (with nice words) without sounding like an ******?
All I've got so far is "YOU'RE FIRED" and other things atuned to "You pretty much s*ck butt!". |

I had to do the same thing.
Simply tell the agent you are not satisfied with the services provided and you have decided to use a different agent. Thank them for the work they have done and wish them luck in the future. |

Don't listen to the other answers as they are all way off. If you're under contract with your current Realtor, and you're speaking to another Realtor, the new one will have their license stripped in a second. Big no-no in Real Estate. We DO NOT speak about real estate to someone under contract with another agent.
If you're already in the buying process, it sounds like your Realtor may be doing an OK job. Doesn't sound like you are though.
Sit back and look at the process. If you're only three weeks into looking and haven't found anything, you may want to be a little more patient. If you really feel that the Realtor isn't looking out for your best interests, or is just inept, tell the Realtor that you'd like to cancel the contract. You don't have to give a reason if you don't want, but it may make it a little easier.
I've yet to meet a Realtor that won't cancel a contract if asked (if you're already in a transaction, you can't really do anything, but then that agent's been doing their job anyway)
As a REALTOR, I'll walk away from anyone that doesn't want to work with me in a heartbeat. Losing one commission off of one house cost me waaayyyyy less than bad publicity from an unhappy client.
But then again, I also do my job and my clients have all been happy with me. |

yeah just dissolve the agreement. tell them that you are not happy with the service and you already have another agent. |

Did you sign a contract with the agent? If not then you don't owe him or her an explanation. They should know that they are not doing enough to assist you. If you did sign a contract, go over the points with them where they failed you and say, gently, that you have decided to go with another agent. |
|

You can ask your new agent for suggestions. I'm sure that he/she has been fired at some point or, if not, someone who works in the same agency has.
I don't know the area you're in, but if you're going to fire them, you should do it soon. In my area, at least, word like that travels fast |

Just a friend.

Be prepared for that agent to enforce the contract you signed with them. If you are in the "process" of buying a home, it may be too late and you will owe the first agent his/her commission anyway. If that is the case, you might as well stay with them as it will not be worth the hassle of trying to break a contract. Chances are you will lose in court and just be out even more money.
If you are really unhappy, take the first contract to a lawyer for an opinion. |

Well it won't be easy no matter what, but I suppose you could say "I have found a real estate agent that is really in tune with my needs and feel is a better fit". It's a tricky one, but all real estate agents have been fired at one point or another. |

If you're under contract, it is difficult to fire them until the listing contract expires. I'm assuming you've reached that point. Now, it is up to the agent to convince YOU to rehire him. Once the contract has expired, you're not really firing him/her, you are simply deciding not to rehire them.
All you need to say is that you've decided to let someone else try to sell it for you. Thank them for their time, and wish them well. That's all there is to it. No need to get angry about it. Some people are good at this, and some people...not so much.
Best of luck to you. |

How about saying, "I'm sorry but I won't be needing your services any longer. My situation (you don't need to spell out what your 'situation' is for them!) has changed."
If they push you for more info, which they might, just tell them you can't talk about it. That leaves an air of mystery to the situation and saves face for the person your firing. Good luck! |

Send your Old Agent an email or call and say "Unfortunately things are not working out. I have decided to use another agent who better fit my needs.Best of luck and much success!" Don't go into detail about why your fireing him/her. |
