[quote=SD Realtor]ED it could be a slippery slope. What if the OP was on an auto MLS feed and got the new listing information from email that the original agent sent? Getting the cancellation agreement is always the cleanest way to sever the relationship. Even with that cancellation, IF the OP goes back to one of the homes that the original realtor showed them, it would be best to use the original realtor to buy that previously shown home just to make triple sure. I would agree it would be best to consult an attorney.[/quote]

Again, from everything I have read regarding procuring cause it is about the uninterrupted chain of events leading to an offer. The agent refusing to submit an offer breaks the chain. I would always of course try for a written piece of paper just to make things clean. But I still feel outside of a previously signed agreement that the agent in question would have no leg to stand on. Thats just one anonymous persons non-legal opinion on the matter.
