Possible to back out of Exclusive Right to List Contract if errors and go FSBO?

We signed an Exclusive Right to List contract with a realtor 2 months ago, but he said we had to do some repairs before putting the house for sale. He found us a handyman but he took over a month to do a few (poorly done) repairs. By coincidence, an interested couple wants to buy our house, and they are even representing themselves. We've even agreed on a price and they've showed lender assurance. They want to submit an offer, and then we'd go over the contract with a real estate lawyer.

The term of the signed Exclusive Right to List contract was filled out incorrectly--it has the end of the term being Jan 2020, instead of Jan 2021 (and no start date). Since the term of the contract is wrong, does that void the whole contract? Would we be to back out to pursue this offer?

Hopefully this isn't too convoluted. Appreciate any and all advice!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
