Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan
How do I disolve a contract with my realestate agent who I feel is not doing the job I had hoped they would do, as far as finding me a house? I have recently found a more (spirited agent) and feel he is more apt to find what I am looking for. not that my current agents are (bad) so to speak but I feel they are not as aggresive as I want in finding homes to look at. Thanks

Have a real estate attorney review your buyer - broker contract. You can contact me at 248 650 7792, for more details.
You should be able to terminate the agreement. If your real estate agent won't do it, talk with his/her broker, explain the reasons, and they will generally let you out. You will have a continuing obligation to pay a commission if the property is sold to someone who looked at the house through the first agent. Usually the agreement calls for a 6-month commission protection period. Any questions, call 586.751.0779 or MichiganEstatePlans.com for contact information. Good luck.
