Simply call the agent let her know that you would like to terminate the listing. You can have the agent send you a cancellation of contract. The agent will most likely resist. You can contact the broker and ask for that same cancellation. If you are firm, they will comply.
A few questions:
What do you expect the listing agent to do?
Frequently sellers use the term lack of representation because they are not satisfied with the number of showings that they have had. So did you agree with the price that your realtor recommended? Does the home show well? Was the home priced in line with recent SOLD comps?
I have a pretty standard policy I like to recommend to sellers. If you don’t get an offer in the first 10 days along with at least 10-15 showings then something is wrong. More then likely the price needs to be slashed by at least 5%. Rinse and repeat in the next few weeks unless you plan to renovate to remedy the problem.
How many showings have you had? What kind of feedback did you get from the showings?
Generally there is not some fancy advertising solution that will sell your home. You can pretty up pictures all you want, send out mailers, have a buzillion open houses. The fact of the matter is that if the home is on the MLS, and it shows well, and you have made it easy to show, then the house will sell if it is priced well. If there are environmental factors like the neighborhood or noise, or crappy neighbors then price it better. Either way, you need to get some feedback on the showings you had so you can adjust.
Basically any home can sell…
It all depends on your motivation.
************************
I am not saying your realtor is good or bad. Undoubtedly your realtor should have had a strategy that they very clearly explained to you up front prior to agreeing to take the listing.
If you have been on the market for 2 months without an offer then you need to make some serious adjustments. A new realtor may help but a new price will more then likely be needed.
