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.

You should use the Listing Cancellation Form when you wish to terminate an existing listing agreement with your real estate agent.
During the review period, which is in place to protect the people on both sides of a transaction, sellers can legally back out. The seller has a contingency in the contract. Like buyers, sellers can build in contingencies, too.
Removing yourself from an MLS Only licensed agents and brokers can access an MLS and make changes, such as removal. Whether you're a buyer or seller, ask your listing agent to close out the listing on the MLS. This may not necessarily get everything removed right away, but it's a start.
How do I cancel my MLS listing? Find your property and click on "Request Changes". In the new screen that appears, you will see the form to submit changes. Check the “Status” checkbox and select the cancellation status from the dropdown that appears.
Withdraw is the best way to handle IF it is understood and agreed upon with the seller. They MUST understand that you are still the listing agent and that are representing them and the listing.
Best Practice: You would submit the Termination of Listing form to the broker to cancel. If the broker allows you to submit your termination directly to the MLS Staff without approval, you would submit the Termination of Listing to MLS staff to cancel.
