Questions regarding agency relationships and buying or selling contracts come up at various times in this forum and others.

It seems the solution may be summarized as follows to cover any situations.

(1) Have you talked to your salesperson and expressed your feelings?

(2) If not satisfied, talk to the salesperson's Manager and/or Broker to determine if there is a misunderstanding or conflict which may be resolved.

(3) If you feel you have a valid complaint regarding ethics or procedures, you may also wish to contact the realtors association and/or licensing body in your area.

(4) If still not satisfied, you may want to talk to your lawyer as you may be seeking a legal opinion. We are realtors working in different jurisdictions and not lawyers. You are of course free to seek independent legal advice at any time! Your lawyer may also give you guidance and suggestions regarding contacting licensing and regulatory authorities.

Hope this covers it all.

Sorry about that but I inadvertently deleted the original post from the member which was not my intention.

My reply however, should cover any questions regading agency relationships.
