I am in a three month contract with my real estate agent at four percent commission for his company and I want to fire him because I don’t think he is doing enough to sell my house. He is always making me excuses that the market is slow but I know my house can sell because my house is beautiful. I’ve already had my house listed with this guy for over a month now and I haven’t even gotten an offer on it. My agent keeps telling me that he has put it on the MLS and realtor.com and sent out flyers for my home and spoken with other agents about it but I don’t think that is enough. He has only done six open houses for my house and it seems like he wants to do them only occassionally now and I want him to keep doing them because I don’t feel he is doing enough to sell my home. What can I do to fire him? I am in a three month contract with him and I am two months away before it expires, but i want to fire him now. what can i do?

6 open houses? Isn’t that a lot? What if he’s right and the market is just slow. If so, You need to give someone a compelling reason to buy your house. Talk that over with your agent. What can you do to give people a reason to buy it now. Dropping the price is always a good way to open up to new buyers.
As far as getting out of the contract goes, if you are right and the gut isn’t living up to his end of the deal, then just consider the contract null and move on. Tell the guy you are taking it off the market and you’re done. If you get someone new that sells the house, and the other guy wants to get paid a commission, leave that up to the two realtor’s to squabble over.
