Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

My parents are selling their house and signed a sellers agreement with an agent. The same agent showed them ONE house to purchase and got them the disclosure information. They were not ready to buy as they needed to sell theirs first. They now have a contract on their home and want to make an offer on the ONE home they saw but with a different agent. The relationship with their current realtor has soured. They didn't sign a buyers agreement. And my husband will be purchasing the new house with my father (we are all going to live together) My husband has never met the agent or signed any agreements. can we use a new agent to buy the house without any recourse from the old agent?

It depends on the terms of the agreement with the broker. Have a local business or real estate attorney review it and advise.
