Under Florida law, both buyers and sellers have the option to end a residential real estate contract and withdraw from the transaction without incurring any penalties by invoking the process of rescission.
Dear Agent, I have decided to move on from Agency. As I understand the termination clause in our agreement, either of us may terminate the relationship at any time in writing, and I am choosing to do so with immediate effect.
The easiest way out is to sit down with the real estate brokerage the realtor works for and discuss breaking the agreement. Many reputable brokerages who wish to keep a favorable relationship with your business will agree to peaceful contract termination.
Here is what you will need to include: Sender and recipient information (names, companies, addresses, contact information) Detailed description of the reasons you are requesting to terminate the contract. Explanation of the specific ways the agent breached the contract or behavior that was unacceptable.
Simply send them a letter or email stating that you are no longer working with them effective immediately. You are not obligated to work with any realtor you don't like. Cut contact after sending the message and contact the new realtor.
Dear Realtor's Name, I am writing to formally terminate our contract for real estate services, dated date of contract, which we entered into on date of agreement. After careful consideration, I have decided that it is in my best interest to terminate our agreement.
Please consider this letter as my official notice of cancellation. After careful consideration, I have determined that it is in my best interest to cancel this contract. While I appreciate the time and effort that you and your agency have put into this matter, I have decided to pursue other options.
If you haven't signed a buyer's agent contract with your REALTOR®, it'll be much easier to break up with them. Do for your agent what you expect in return, and be direct and kind. Ask them if there's a good time for you both to talk, so they can be mentally prepared for the rejection.
The 14 day cooling off period During the first 14 days after you have entered the contract you have the right to leave the contract without incurring a penalty.
