I am very peaved! There are no pics on the MLS. I have asked her marketing plan and she has not answered me. She told me she would let me know how to stage and she has not. She has the list price at $489 instead of $489,000 and my name wrong on the contracts. I asked her to move the lock box and she hasnt. I asked her to rewrite the listing to include Corian Countertops, Laminate Floors, etc. She wont do anything and Im only 7 days into this.

Contact the broker of her firm. Because each agent is listed under a broker who suppose "supervise" everything. If the agent isn't performing to industry standard, then you can tell her boss. And document everything on the process, and do it quickly. She supposes work for you, then you don't have to put up these with her.

If your agent works under a broker (it varies state to state) go in and let the broker know what is going on. If the broker doesnt take care of the problem, you should file a complaint with your local Board Of Realtors and with the state licensing bureau.
There are many good real estate agents out there. It sounds like you got the bad apple. The truth is, most agents list a house and then hope that another agent will come along and sell the house for them. No one cares about your house as much as you do. You will have to ride her butt for the entire listing period if you cant get out of the contract. Frankly, I think just telling the broker you will complain to the Board will be enough to release you from the contract. Be the squeaky wheel.
Good luck,
Barbara

Definately terminate your agent if she can't get it right within a decent time period, like 24 to 48 hours. 7 days is too long for you to have to wait. Talk to her broker and ask to be released from the contract. Many brokers value their reputation more then having an unhappy customer who will spread the bad news about their company.

Complain to her broker. The broker should fix the problem immediately. If that doesn't work, complain to the real estate commission in your state. That complaint will usually get the broker more than willing to cancel the contract and have nothing to do with you ever again

i would suggest put your frustration in writing and talk to the Office Manager or Broker. If you are not able to cancel the listing all together they might be able to get the changes you need taken care about and might assign you a different agent from the same company.

Check your listing agreement to determine what services she promised to provide. If she is low in funds, it could be that she can't afford to market it the way it should be.
By all means go to see the Broker in Charge and ask for a cancellation.

Read your contract and see what it says. Since she's not doing her job, there's a chance you can. You need to stick with a licensed agent in the future. Contact one now and see if they can help.

I am a Real Estate Agent in California.
It depends on what type of contract you signed.
Did you sign an exclusive contract? If so, then you can not. Usually agents will have you sign one for three months, sometimes less. Me personally, I do not. I think one should be free to deal with anyone if they are not satisfied.
Please review the contract. You can also request that she terminates the contract. You can also go to her broker (if she is not the broker).
I can review your contract if you like and tell you what exactly you signed. Some agents don't tell the seller exactly what the contract means.

Your Realtor is in breach of the listing contract, and thus can be fired.

If she works for an agency, complain to the manager or owner of the agency.
