[Texas] I'd like to change agents, want to ensure I'm not breaking contract

Hi all,

My husband inherited a 1.5 acre lot from his parents and we don't have the time or interest in fixing it up. We contacted an agent and we signed all the documents, including Texas Realtors form 'Residential Real Estate Listing Agreement Exclusive Right to Sell'.

The week we did this, we told the agent to give us 2 days to get to the property so we could mow it and leave her the keys so she could bring a key box and get the photographer out. We had this done on April 12th. Since then, our agent hasn't even stepped foot or seen the property in person, has not brought a lock box or a for sale sign, and there has also been no pictures taken.

We are frustrated because we just want to get the show on the road and she doesn't seem motivated or tells us she will try to make it out and doesn't. The contract we signed with her stated the listing date began on April 11th and ends October 31st, but as of this moment, there have been no pictures, no drafting of the listing, no for sale sign or any indication the property is for sale, no keybox, and the agent has NOT been to the property at all.

Are we in the clear to message her and break this agreement off since it's been over 2 weeks and absolutely nothing has happened in terms of getting this property publicly listed?

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...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
