I would send an email to the main person laying out your concerns and asking them to release you from the contract. Don't mention the other realtor, just state the facts that you don't feel like you are getting the service that you expect, don't feel the contract is mutually beneficial and ask for a release.
The contract is likely more tightly tied to the BROKER than the specific agent. Discuss the issues with the broker and request to be let out of the contract. They may push back by offering a different agent to work with you, or they may just let you walk.
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.
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. But before you sign one, you should understand your options for terminating a listing agreement so you don't feel stuck in a bad situation.
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.

I get this question a lot from clients: I signed a contract, and now I want out; what can I do? The general rule of contracts is that once they are signed, the deal is done, and you can't just say you don't want to be bound by the contract anymore.
A federal law allows consumers to cancel contracts made with a door-to-door salesperson or anywhere other than the seller's normal place of business within three days of signing. The three-day period is called a "cooling off" period.
