Terminating an Exclusive Sellers Agreement
I had an issue come up during the sale of my home with the agent I am using to sell my house and was wondering what my options are to get out of the agreement.
I had a conditional offer on the table when it came up so my reasoning was that if the conditions were removed I would stay with the agent but if the sale fell through then I would want to look for a new agent.
My agent is part of a three man family firm. Two brothers and a father-in-law share advertising/name/website and often throw all three names on the marketing. One of the brothers is my agent, but he sold his services as a team.
The other brother was just arrested for smuggling a large quantity of Oxycontin into the country allegedly for resale. I live in a smaller city so everyone in town knew immediately and I have had several people comment that it is a good thing I picked the right brother.
