Firing the Agent |
| |
 |
I decided to fire my agent after numerous potential buys fell through because he mishandled the negotiations. I am now interested in a property for sale that I ave visited with him. Can I contact the listing agent directly and share the commission with him if the buy goes through. |

You can't share a commission because you're not licensed.
If you had a written buyer-broker (buyer's agent) contract with your first agent, look in there to see what obligations you took on when you signed. If you didn't have a contract, you are free to work with anyone you want, including the listing agent. Just explain the situation when you contact him or her. Whether your first broker would claim a share of the commission, and whether he would receive it, should be none of your concern. It would be between the brokers involved. |
