Technically, a listing agreement is a contract so there's no provision for it to be terminated. Before signing the listing agreement, you can ask your real estate agent if they'll allow written terms for ending the contract early. Some real estate agents and brokers will allow that, and some won't.

Understand your agreement. Read the contract to see if it allows you to cancel. Ask to be released from an agreement that doesn't give you another way out. Ask to be reassigned. Make it work. Wait it out. Contact an attorney to review your contract and discuss other options.
