You should use the Listing Cancellation Form when you wish to terminate an existing listing agreement with your real estate agent. This might occur if you decide to sell the property privately or if you are unhappy with the agent's performance.
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 agreement cancellation form is a digital form used by real estate agents and clients to terminate an existing agreement to list a property for sale. This form asks for the necessary details for canceling the agreement and is acknowledged by both parties to confirm the cancellation.
As noted, to cancel or otherwise amend a listing or buyer agency contract the seller/buyer and brokerage must both agree. Be sure to: Discuss your concerns directly with your Realtor and ask for a resolution of the issues that are bothering you. Keep written notes and make your instructions in writing.
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.
All parties must agree to in writing to any changes. The listing agent is the only one that can make changes to the listing contract. All changes can be made by attaching a hand-written note to the existing contact.
Typical time frames for agreements range from three to six months, though they can be shorter or longer. Many include a renewal clause, which provides an option to extend the listing period if both parties agree.
