How do I terminate a relationship with current RE agent politely?
Hello BP community!
I am just not feeling the love with my current RE agent I connected with via Redfin as I search for a MFR in metro LA area, and I need your help.
Even though he has done RE investing himself, he doesn't provides any comps unless asked specifically, no really helpful advice on offer price other than saying "the market is competitive and we need to put our strongest offer in", no help in providing an investor-friendly information (CAP, ROI, other financials ) on properties - Yes I should always do one myself, but shouldn't agent actively providing one for me?) On top of that, I am just not feeling the right chemistry.
While there are a few outstanding offers in place, if non of them get accepted, I'd like to switch my current agent to hopefully someone who is more investor-friendly, and that I can feel more comfortable with better chemistry for a lasting relationship.
So, how do I politely terminate a relationship with current RE agent?
Thank you.

Wait until your other submitted offers pan out and thank him for his work, and go on your way. Now on the other hand if you are working him as a work horse and not actually closing on deals, well the folly may be on your shoulders.
