I have been working with an real estate agent for a couple of weeks. She is not as good as I hoped, but OK. The problem is that I can see her effort to push me to sign a contract. She gives much more positives than negatives on almost all properties. While the home market is not clear, she always insists that the local market will definitely boom, which I don’t agree on.

I thought about switching to another realtor, but would feel guilty to do so as she has already invested at least 10 hours on my search. I know in this state, most realtors require the buyer sign the agreement at the beginning, but still some won’t do that until they are ready to help the buyer make an offer. I am leaning to sign the offer with her. But …, if she is getting worse, do I have options to switch agents beforel the agreement expire in 6 months? The agreement is not clear on that at all.

When I go out looking at properties I don’t say anything about the property unless I see something major. It’s not my decision. She may be scared to say negative things about a home you might purchase. This comment does not seem very uncommon to me.

Of course if you are not comfortable don’t push forward. But, let her know why instead of just dropping her. It’s the least you can do after she’s invested so much time. And trust me its more than 10 hours considering the time she’s spent calling agents and looking up properties, etc for you.

If you do push forward address your concerns with her as well.

Personally, the only people I don’t make sign a contract with me is friends and family because I know they’re using me. But, everyone else I will get to sign because I have other things to do and ACTUAL clients to help. If its been a few weeks OF COURSE she is trying to get you to sign. I’m sure she doesn’t want to waste any more of her time if you’re just going to use someone else. So, I don’t blame her there one bit.

Just keep in mind that if you do purchase a home that she showed you there may be a problem because your new Realtor may not be able to claim a commission due to "procurring cause". So, be up front with the new Realtor should you decide to get one because you want the best representation but you also want to be fair.
