He's also listed homes for people, spent money advertising it, only to have them remove it from the market and sell it privately.

I understand there are crooks in Real Estate.. there are crooks in most businesses... but if you ever use a good agent.. don't stab them in the back please.. most likely it's their only income.

(that's a general statement.. not aimed at anyone in particular!)
I would agree with this. There is nothing wrong with signing a contract when selling a home, and it's just good ethics to purchase thru the agent that spends the most time with you.

NOw, if you get a loser who does nothing, in my opinion, there is no obligation.
