FAQ
If I was wanting to cancel, the first thing I would do is contact the listing agent and explain why you want to cancel. Most of the time the listing agent will release you from the agreement. If they are resistant to releasing you from the agreement contact their Broker/manager and explain.
A listing can be canceled during its term primarily by the seller and the broker. The seller can withdraw their property from the market, while the broker may terminate the agreement based on certain conditions.
Reasons for termination might include an agent's unsatisfactory performance, the seller changing their mind about selling the property or a mutual decision to otherwise end the contract.
A listing agreement is a binding contract, but there are a number of ways to get out of one. Whether you change your mind about selling, have ethical or performance concerns about the agent, or you just don't find a buyer, you can get out of a listing agreement.

Listing agreements are usually cancelled only with the mutual consent of the involved parties.
Most real estate agent contracts typically last between three to six months. This duration isn't set in stone; it can be flexible based on your needs and the current market conditions. For instance, if the market is hot, a shorter contract might be preferable to capitalize on quick sales.
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.
The best way to end a contract early is to speak with the party you're in contract with. Simple negotiation is often all it takes to reach a favorable resolution. If they don't agree to ending the contract early, consider getting a lawyer to help you determine your next best step.
