Both principals to the listing agreement have the power to revoke the contract at any time. They do not, however, always have the right. That is, client or broker may cancel a listing but remain liable for damages to the other party.
The seller can allow a listing to be canceled during the term of the agreement. The seller, being the owner of the property, can decide to withdraw his or her property from the market.
Taking Action Ask for a release: The time to ask about canceling a listing is when you sign the listing contract. Request a release in writing: Tell your agent immediately if you want to cancel. Ask to be assigned another agent: Realize that your listing is between the brokerage and you, not you and your agent.
The simplest way to terminate a listing agreement is through mutual consent. If both you and your agent agree to part ways, you can cancel the agreement without penalties. Make sure to document this agreement in writing, as it will serve as evidence in case of any disputes later on.
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.
