Post: Changing realtors after signing agreement
- Posts 4
- Votes 5
I'm looking for a primary residence in the DFW market, and was using a recommended friend's friend realtor. He made me a portal, never met him, used him once when I did found a house I wanted to put an offer in (just decided based on listing and comps I found on BP). I have an uncle with a TX realtor license, and he had told me to use him if I was doing a new build so he'd cut me a check for the commission.
When I did come across a new build I wanted, the builder informed me to not use my uncle (bc his firm is in Houston) and advised I used a local Dallas realtor. I asked him would it make a price differenceif I had a realtor or not, and he said no.
Well, I made the rookie/dumb mistake of giving him my realtor's info bc as he said "to make things easier for me." I signed the purchase agreement, and I got an ear full from my uncle about it. I'm going to reach out and see if I can change the realtor on my agreement or not.
Has anyone ever been told this? Any experience with it? I'd rather lose my $1k earnest money, and get a different house than lose out on the roughly 3 percent of the purchase price my uncle would've given back to me. Hard $1k lesson to learn, but I'll take the hit. What do you guys think??

I'm new to BP as well. Clearly, I'm hardly able to navigate the forum apparently. I haven't seen anything in the area either. Closest ones I've seen are in Ttown or Bham.
@Remington Lyman maybe if I ever want to do long distance investing! I was taking about Columbus, MS 😅
Hi! I'm currently in Starkville, MS, and I'm looking to invest in Columbus or Caledonia area. Anyone ventured to invest out here at all?
