 I am a real estate agent and I am sorry about your recent experience. I do have to ask are your currently working with this agent now?
I wanted to inform you of the various listing agreements you can have with a agent.
Open(non-exclusive) agency agreement - This type of agreement allows you to select one or more companies to market your prop. This means that whoever produces the ready, willing, and able buyer gets the full commision--that is any broker or the you the seller. This induces the agent or agents to work harder on your behalf to get you the best deal because if you come up with the buyer yourself then you do not owe a commission......
do you have any other questions or concerns?

| If your husband is part owner of the property ( if his name is on the deed), then you should not have signed his name. If the realtor witnessed this, that alone should be enough to nullify the listing agreement. However, most agencies will let you out of a listing agreement if you are unsatisfied. They simply do not advertise that because it takes a certain level of work to acquire a listing and it costsl money to advertise but you should be able to bet out of it by signing a withdrawal document with the agency. Also, upon listing your property, your realtor should have done a competetive market analysis which compares similar properties to yours. Typically, they compare active properties with ones that have recently sold and the price they actually sold at to give you an accurate range in which to list your property. Good Luck!

Did you carefully read the listing agreement (contract) to see if there is a method to cancel the contract? In other words, under what conditions are you legally allowed to take your home off of the market?
When did you sign the contract and when does it officially expire?
A price adjustment of $70,000. is a big adjustment. And the realtor is requesting a further adjustment? How did you decide on the price that you put your home on the market? Did your realtor provide you with a printout of "closed sales" in the neighborhood that represented similar comparable properties that closed within 3 - 6 months of the time you listed your home for sale?
Ask your realtor to provide you with a newly acquired print out of information to demonstrate how the 7 homes that are currently under contract directly compare with yours. (Until those homes close escrow, however, you will not have the actual sales price information.) Your realtor has access to the MLS and can easily pull the information up so that you can see how the "sold" homes are similar to, or different, from your home. Are they all "cookie cutter" comparables from the same neighborhood, for example? Are they similar in age to your home? You need way more verifiable information to decide whether your home is actually overpriced or not. Additionally, did the sellers of those "other" homes offer any type of sales incentive to the buyers, ie. paying closing costs, paying the buyers points to buydown the mortagae rate, offering upgrades such as re-carpeting, etc.? Your sales agent should be able to give you more information as to why the other homes sold before yours did.
Please provide more information...

| I listed with a real estate agent Aug. 13th after having tried to sell my house myself. The agent has not brought one person in to see my home and it's listed with MLS. She has said negative things to me about my home to encourage me to bring the price down. I've already brought it down $70,000. I'd like to break the contract with her, but she's more interested in keeping me bonded to the contract than trying to sell my home. She told me 7 houses in my price range are currently under contract and not one of these people saw my house. One of them may have decided on my home instead of what they purchased. I signed the contract and initialed my husband's signature. Your advice would be appreciated.
