It's a business relationship. He or she isn't your friend and isn't a part of your family.
Look at you contract and follow it.
If your realtor isn't doing a good job, do everything you can to get rid of them. Realtors make a lot of money and you should demand high quality customer service. (This is really true when you consider that many realtors don't even have college degrees.)
Good luck. |

contract with a REALTOR is a service contract. You owe the REALTOR honesty, being available, providing timely documents, etc. Tjhe REALTOR owes you integrity, confidentiality, honesty, fiduciary (money) responsibility and diligence in informing you of all that concerns the properties you are looking at.
Having said that, there is no contract that is iron clad and forces you to work with a REALTOR that you don't like, or hasn't performed to expectations. That contract can be broken anytime by notifying the REALTOR and/or his office head that you are terminating the contract. A brief note is sufficient. Usually you are only responsible to that REALTOR for a commission if you purchase a home they have shown you, up to 60-90 days from the termination date.
By the way, only those who belong to the National Association of REALTORS (tm) - NAR can use the term REALTOR. They have to follow a strict code of ethics. Make sure that the agent you are using is a member of the NAR. |

For as long as your listing agreement or buyers agent agreement states. if you didn't sign anything you're free to go. |

If they are selling your house, then you might have to pay what they put into it (such as MLS listing fees) and break of contract fee. It usually isn't much. If they hold you to the contract then they usually expire in 90 days. If you get any offers on the house, you do not have to take them.
If you had an agent looking for house for you, then you can walk away with no problems. |

IF YOU HAVE LSTED YOUR HOME TO SELL WITH A ERALTOR YOUR COMMITMENT IOS CLEARLY DEFINED IN THE AGREEMENT THAT YOU SIGNED ALLOWING THAT REALTOR TO LIST YOUR HOME. IF YOU DID NOT SIGN ANY AGREEMENTS THERE IS NO COMMITMENT. |

depends, did you sign a contract? if there is a contract involved, you need to fulfill the agreements of that contract. if you are a buyer and you are just looking and didnt sign anything, you have no commitment. if you are selling, you most likely signed a contract to list your home with the agent, most likely for a certain period of time. look into it before you ditched the realtor, you could get yourself into more trouble. best wishes |

If you signed a contract, your commitment will be outlined there. Most contracts have provisions to cancel them, so take a look.
If a Realtor is showing you property and did a CMA on your house, you really have no commitment to that Realtor. But bear in mind that Realtors only get paid if they sell you something, so if you are working with multiple Realtors, don't expect anyone to go the extra mile for you. |

Depends, are you married to one, are you listing your home through one, are you buying a home?
Each of the above examples would have a different commitment. |
