Real Estate Agent not performing

[Michael Lettieri]

I live in New Jersey. I had a real estate agent show me a house and I wanted to make an offer. However the agent has ghosted me and ignored my messages/texts.

I called the listing agent to request that they act as a dual agent however they refused since another agent showed the home.

What do I do in this situation? It is now past the deadline that the seller had requested. I would like to fire the unresponsive agent however the listing agent is saying I can only put in an offer through the agent that showed the property. Thank you for your advice.
