If you did not sign a representation agreement that states specific time frames. All you have to do is tell the Realtor you are going to work with someone else. If you have a signed Real Estate Contract, the Realtor will be due the commission regardless.
I suggest speaking first to the Realtor's Broker or Manager and asking them to take over the day to day dealings.

Your realtor, if not the company managing broker, has a broker she answers to. Call that broker and insist on an appointment immediately. You have lost confidence in her, but still need representation and that is why that managing broker gets paid. Try to keep the emotions out of it - take the approach that it is only business. Brokers always defend their agents and that is not what this is about. It is about a successful closing; however, if you feel this agent lied to you about key factors that would have caused you to change your mind about the purchase, then that broker and agent have a real problem on their hands. That broker may have a solution borne from years of experience. They have run across almost every issue there is. You should stongly consider having that agent present at the meeting. The broker can gauge her reactions and see through any false answers. You can fire her at any time, but the commission due from the seller, or you, will still be paid if you go through with the sale. Make sure it is not a communication error or a seller that is lying. If you don't feel satisfied, then you may have to request a hold on the closing until you are able to clearly separate fact from fiction. An attorney may help you with this. Don't count on the Board of Realtors. It takes them 6 months to sort out even small problems and it is like complaining about a doctor to the AMA. They don't like to go against one of their own.

Your rights as a Seller is to honor your Listing Agreement with the Agent you listed with. If you signed an Exclusive Right to Sell with your agent (Broker)for 6 months and decide the agent is working for you then the next step is to request a cancellation of the listing. If you leave your house on the market as a For Sale by Owner or try to list it with another real estate company you are liable for the original agents commission. If you take it off the market until the 6 month period is over and then list it with another company you should be ok. The only concern here is if you find a Buyer now but that Buyer was brought by that original agent or saw your house during an open house the commission must still be paid to the original Listing agent. So if you have a 6% commission it now has to be split between 3 agents instead of 2.

You are too late to fire them, that's for sure. Depending on what sort of agency relationship you have, there is a certain amount of confidentially, though an agent still has to disclose anything they knew or should have known about the property.
If you are having problems, file a complaint with their broker, with their board that they are membership with and with the state comission. These three outlets will discipline the agent accordingly.
It might benefit you to bring this up with your agent. Tell them that you feel like you've been lied to and explain why. Perhaps there is just a misunderstanding. I have been an agent for 8 years and I can tell you, sometimes my clients get flustered because I forget to speak in "people-ese" instead of "real estate-ese." I hope whatever it is, that it can be easily solved.
Good luck.

be happy you get a contract-just close and be done with it. don't waste time and energy on this person. just don't refer him to anyone, remember the realtors business comes from referrals.
its not worth the headache. we've been on the market for 15 months, our endurance is running out. in todays market you should be glad to have a contract that made it to closing.

Report her to the Board of Realtors. The Board will advise you of what actions you can take against your realtor if you can prove that she lied to you.
