realtor help/question

[Joe Guz]

I just bought a house and I have to sell mine fast to avoid making double payments...Ive tried selling my house 2 times before w/the same realtor w/not one offer. He is not proactive at all, and I should list w/someone else but Im a wimp and I hate to fire him...Here is the questiojn. I put up a few ads up on craigslist and I found a buyer that will buy my home and Id hold the mortgage. Now I did all the work, I showed the place, I did everything...Do I have to give my realtor his commision...Can I tell him to take it off the market and tell him Im just going to rent it? Ive made him a lot of $$ this year. I bought 5 houses from him--all of which I found and all he had to do is make the offer--anyway, Im ranting....what do I do? I dont want to give him 6k for doing nothing
