1 Assess your situation

Before you decide to terminate a broker relationship, you should evaluate your reasons and expectations. Are you unhappy with the broker's performance, communication, or ethics? Do you have realistic goals and timelines for your transactions? Have you tried to address your concerns with the broker and give them a chance to improve? If you have valid reasons to end the relationship, and you have exhausted all other options, then you can proceed to the next step. But if you are simply impatient, unrealistic, or unreasonable, then you may want to reconsider your decision and work on building trust and rapport with your broker.

Try and get around a table and discuss the situation, it may be that it is easily resolved, something may have changed since the day you started the relationship, or there could be personal issues that have changed. Talking helps.

In my experience, you need to start the relationship with agreed goals that both parties can live with, certainly in a new relationship. If both parties have a clear outset from day one, you may not be in the position of having to consider terminating a relationship. Be prepared to be honest, and have regular monthly and quarterly reviews to ensure that the goals are being achieved. if then things don't go to plan this seems a sensible idea.

2 Review your contract

The next step is to review your contract with the broker and understand the terms and conditions of termination. Some contracts may have a specific duration, a cancellation fee, a notice period, or a protection clause that covers the broker's commission for a certain time after the termination. You should also check if the contract is exclusive or non-exclusive, meaning if you can work with other brokers or not. If you are not sure about the contract details, you may want to consult a lawyer or a real estate expert to avoid any legal complications or disputes.

When you set up your relationship, don't be afraid to agree the steps of termination should everything go wrong. Breaking up isn't always that easy, so set your stall out on day one and discuss the termination process, no-one wants a nasty surprise.

3 Communicate your decision

Once you have reviewed your contract and decided to terminate the broker relationship, you should communicate your decision to the broker in a clear and respectful manner. You can do this in person, by phone, or by email, depending on your preference and the nature of the relationship. You should explain your reasons for ending the contract, thank the broker for their services, and request a confirmation of the termination. You should also ask for a copy of the contract cancellation form, if applicable, and sign it accordingly. You may want to keep a record of all the communication and documents related to the termination for future reference.

Try and keep the break-up professional and courteous. Your relationship has ended today, but in three or five years' time things may have changed and you may want to go back and start a new relationship. Always try to end the relationship in the best possible way.

4 Handle the pending transactions

Another important aspect of terminating a broker relationship is to handle any pending transactions or leads that the broker may have generated for you. Depending on your contract, you may have to pay the broker a commission for any deals that close within a certain period after the termination, or you may have to transfer the transactions to another broker. You should discuss this with your broker and agree on how to handle the pending transactions in a fair and professional way. You should also inform any potential buyers or sellers that you are working with about the change of broker and introduce them to your new agent, if applicable.

Don't stop delivering service, even when you are working out a notice period. It gets frustrating for both parties and causes friction and sours the relationship.

5 Find a new broker

The final step is to find a new broker that suits your needs and expectations better than the previous one. You should do some research and compare different brokers based on their experience, reputation, fees, services, and personality. You should also ask for referrals from your network, interview potential candidates, and check their references and reviews. You should look for a broker that has a good track record in your market, understands your goals and preferences, communicates effectively, and acts ethically and professionally.

Working with a broker can be a rewarding and beneficial experience, but sometimes it may not work out for various reasons. If you decide to terminate a broker relationship, you should follow these steps to do it in a proper and respectful way. You should also learn from your experience and find a new broker that can help you achieve your real estate objectives.

Find a broker that you get on with personally and professionally. It's not going to work with everyone so take a little time before you jump in.
