In general, valid reasons for terminating a listing agreement include: A) Mutual agreement between the seller and agent, B) Completion of the sale, and C) Expiration of the agreed-upon time period, as these reasons reflect the successful conclusion or mutual termination of the contract.
If you're set on canceling, send a formal request in writing, either via email or certified letter. Be sure to include your property address, the date, and a clear statement that you're terminating the agreement. If you want to work with a different agent in the future, be clear about the termination timeframe.
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.

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 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.
Begin by addressing the letter to the real estate agent by name, and clearly state that you are terminating the contract. Be sure to include the date of termination and any relevant details about the reasons for ending the agreement.
Although the listing agreement is a legally binding document, your realtor may be able to work with you to cancel the contract or make necessary adjustments based on your situation.
