What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
Hello,
My husband and I have a 1 year "Exclusive Right to Sell Agreement" with an agent that we were referred to via an Real Estate companie's 800#. The agent is located appx 40 miles away and not familiar with our area at all. We signed on with her last May. Through out the last 8 months she has been extremely hard to get in touch with and downright unresponsive at times. She has offered no advice or help in how to sell our place except just keep lowering the price. We would now like to take the condo off the market for the next 2 months or so to make updates through out. When we relist we would like to work with someone else in our local area and someone who is a little more interested and helping us sell. The only things our agent has ever done for us is have us sign the paperwork and asked us to lower the price.
Would we have a legal basis for breaking the contract?
Thank you for any advice!
