What Kind of Guarantee Does A Real Estate Agent Offer?

If you sign a listing or buying agreement with the real estate agent and later find that you are unhappy with the arrangement, will the agent let you cancel the agreement? Will the agent stand behind his or her promised service to you?

Before signing a listing agreement seek some reassurance on the amount of effort that will be put in. Get a commitment on the amount of advertising, and ask for the option to cancel the listing if you're not happy with the progress.

Ask the agent what is his/her company policy is regarding canceled agreements. Ask the agent if anyone has ever canceled an agreement with him/her before.

The are all good questions to ask a real estate agent BEFORE committing to and form of listing contract or agreement. Don't be afraid to ask the tough questions.
