Can you get out of a property listing contract signed with a real estate agent?

Normally agents will let you out of the listing contract, provided the seller agrees that anyone who viewed the property while it was listed will be a protected client for that broker and a commission will be payable if that potential buyer turns into a real buyer within an agreed upon period of time. (Ex: 90 days) If you have a legitimate reason to cancel the listing agreement, contacting the broker in charge of your agent's office should result in the listing being cancelled. The bottom line, if you as a seller refuse to cooperate with showings, the broker's chance of selling the house plummets and most agents have no desire to deal with all that!

What if seller won't fix inspection defects for a real estate sale?

In my state the Seller may refuse to fix items. The Buyer may then agree to accept the house "as is" or they may cancel the contract; providing there is an Inspection Addendum that states this. Inspections should be referred to in your contract or as an Addendum. If you used a broker or real estate agent, s/he should be able to show you what the appropriate language was in the contract.

Avoid Real Estate Drama When Selling Your Home?

Finding the right real estate agent will be important to those who are in the market to sell their houses. They will have to work with this person, probably for several months, and they will need to trust this person to fight for their best interests. One piece of advice for narrowing down the list of real estate agents is to not interview real estate agents who work for the same company.They May Compare NotesPeople who would like to sell their houses will have to share intimate information with the real estate agents. If they do this with two or more people in the same company, they may get together and discuss what they know about the applicants. From there, the information could even be passed around the entire office. Real estate agents will be more discreet if they can't compare notes with each other.Personality Conflicts between AgentsThese agents could also be at the opposite ends of the spectrum; they may not be able to stand each other. If they are in competition with each other, one or the other may decide to do something to sabotage the sale. The real estate field is not immune to this type of drama.Too Strong a Bond between AgentsOn the other hand, these agents may be very good friends. If they know that they are being interviewed by the same people, one may refuse to accept the job. It's also not unheard of to have both real estate agents decline to be hired by someone who has interviewed both of them. These two agents may be such good friends that they are completely unwilling to compete with each other.SecrecySometimes, real estate agents are highly secretive. They conduct their business in a manner that they don't allow to be known to the other agents in their companies and they wish to keep it that way. For this reason, they try to keep the other agent from being able to learn their trade secrets. It would be better for people who want to sell their homes to keep away from these kinds of personality quirks because they interfere with their abilities to sell their homes.Similar TacticsBy hiring two agents from the same company, people selling their homes may not notice a difference in tactics. For example, the house may be listed in the same publications with similar wording.

Why did the third estate refuse to follow the tradition of each estate having one vote?

It was unfair for each estate to have one vote because the first and second estate would always out-vote the third estate, seeing they have more common interests. Moreover, the third estate encompassed 97% of the French population yet they only receive one vote in the Estate's General.


Can an attorney refuse to give you copies pertaining to an estate?

Yes, an attorney can refuse to provide copies of documents related to an estate under certain circumstances, such as if the requester is not a beneficiary or if the documents contain confidential information. Additionally, attorneys may withhold documents if they believe disclosure could harm their client's interests or violate attorney-client privilege. However, beneficiaries typically have the right to access relevant estate documents, including the will and inventory, depending on jurisdictional laws.
