Kelley Eling - You've done a great job in explaining to sellers that they do have options with their listings and can cancel. There may, or may not be a cost to doing that, but it is always an option! Excellent post!
I find it appalling that agents and brokers pretend like the seller is locked in. It simply isn't true.
Nice "anonymous" profile.
Maybe you should read my article. And MAYBE Realtors/Brokers/Agents should act with dignity, professionalism, integrity and on behalf of their clients' best interests and cancel the agreement if the client doesn't want to work with them.
End. Of. File.
Is this you, Rachel? Because it's the only Rachel Perkins licensed in the State of California:

Can you please tell me how long after I have filled out a cancellation of listing form that my realtor has to send me a fully executed copy? He is refusing to do so and requesting 5% to release me but that is not how the contract reads. He is refusing to conduct any work and it is essentially just holding me and the property hostage.Are there any codes you know of that state a period of time? Or any ethical standard codes or legal codes that you could provide meTo help me in this situation?Thank you.
Kelley, nice that you have this clause in there, as sometimes it isn't a good fit.
