Is there any way to successfully break a contract with a listing agent that is not listing my property correctly?
Background Summary:
I listed my property with a local realtor about 4 weeks ago. I was told that regulations required them to obtain a copy of the septic permit and the house listing had to reflect the number of bedrooms approved on the permit. Fair enough - I thought - no problem. But, you guessed it, the next day I was told that my permit was only approved for a 2 bedroom home. (the home is actually a 3 bedroom). As a result, it had to be listed as a 2 bedroom with a "bonus" room. This of course limited the amount that I could list for the asking price. Here's the kicker, the same agency sold me the house 7yrs ago with no mention of this septic process! To somewhat wrap up a long story...... I went to the health department myself and pulled the evaluation, it reads, approved for a 3 bedroom! I passed this information on to my agent and she has been "investigating" this discrepancy since last 8/22/02. As a result of this problem, a major publication will be coming out with my property listed incorrectly. She was also informed of ommissions and inaccuracies in her website listing - which she hasn't corrected after 3 weeks.
Bottom line - is there anyway to drop this agency before they kill any chance I have of selling this home?
