You Can Terminate Your Buyer's Agent Agreement

You do not need an agent to buy a house.

You might have to pay one, anyway.

After the NAR rules changes, buyer's agents have been pushing people into exclusive representation agreements, whether they know it or not.

• You're now responsible for paying the buyer's agent commission at closing, unless the seller volunteers to cover it as a concession.
• This fee is usually 2-3% of the transaction price and can not be rolled into your mortgage.
• You could be obligated to pay the buyer's agent even if you purchase a property they had nothing to do with.

That's not fair. First-time buyers are being railroaded into one-sided agreements, while experienced homeowners and investors are forced to pay for services they don’t need anymore.

It’s a racket, plain and simple; agents were caught lying about how much they were charging you, so now they want to lock you in before you see the price tag.

You shouldn’t have to work with someone like that and now, you don’t need to.

Here’s how to terminate your buyer’s agent agreement.

How to Send an Agent Termination Letter

If you signed an exclusive buyer's agent agreement -- and you probably did -- getting out of one before you’re under contract on a property is fairly simple:

1. Review your agreement and make sure you won’t be charged a penalty for early cancellation. (Yes, some agents will do this!)
2. Fill out the Generate Your Termination Letter form on this page.
3. Click submit and check your email.

We’ll send you the form letter to use to terminate your agreement, plus actionable next steps to help you leave your agent.

You can do it in less than five minutes. Thousands have.
