Void contract but realtor won't let it go

[Vanessa Puente]

Hi guys,

I need help with a situation in dealing with. I'm selling my house, I did a contract with a realtor & his brokerage firm at the end of August, a month later, out of the blue he informs me that his firm is doing a merge with another broker and we needed to sign a "transfer". I did not liked this so, I refused to do it. He told me that because we didn't signed our listing contract would it be void a soon as the "merge" was done. It's been a week since then, and my property is still active on all sites but when I did a search at the Nevada Real Estate Division site, the license of the broker(that I did my contract with) is "closed".

I've asked several times to our former agent to take my property off the MLS, since our contract is void/null but he keeps giving me excuses, like, "the MLS transfer is delayed, so now we need to sign a withdrawal", or " there's no such thing as canceled status"

How can they casually generate more documents if their license is closed? Isn't that illegal? or to hold an active listing and refusing to take it off the market or cancel it if the listing contract is no longer valid?

What can I do? What are my options here? Should I file a formal complain at the Nevada Real Estate Division against the realtor & his firm?

I just want my house completely free from the listing agreement and be taken off the market so we can find another realtor and continue the selling process...

Any insight helps but if you're an EXPERT... Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I would first get a new agent and let their broker deal with the former broker. Spending money on an attorney is going to be expensive.

attorney is waste of money and over kill.. Just call up the local MLS they will have a number explain the situation they will handle it for the property owner.. takes 30 seconds on the Puter to remove a listing..
