How do I fire my RE agent during a short sale

Hello All,

I put in an offer on a short sale back in Feb for a primary residence . It's now October and we are no further along. I fully understand that a short sale can take a good while and in many cases the bank is the cause of slow progression. The SS bank keeps asking the seller  for the same thing and its the same runaround over and over again.  To make matters worse, the agent DOES NOT call or text me anything! She has been so incompetent and lacks follow up skills. Every week I chase her down to ask her where we are at. Again she fails to respond as always. I am feeling that if her level of service to the SS bank is the same at what she delivers to me...I am beginning to believe that the hold up is her lack of following through. Also...she has NEVER spoken to the seller other than the very first time they met, and its been 10 months for him!  So my Questions: How can I fire this RE agent from hell? If I fire her on my end but the seller decides to keep her, how does that affect things being I get a different agent. Last thing...since the seller is so fed up with the whole deal, he allowed me to start moving in and live in the property! So now I'm actually living in it while we wait for the SS! Your thoughts?

@Arcinio Arauz you could contact her brokerage and explain your frustration and ask them to remedy it. Even if you’re in a binding contract, a firm shouldn’t let a deal go down like this and risk their name getting ruined.
