Advices on changing RE agent

[Andy Wilson]

Hi BP,

I have been in RE agent in SoCal, and has been looking around homes for the past few months. The agent’s company is quite big and she is professional, but seems to be very busy, not proactive enough for me. I placed a couple of offers but not successful so far. She works fast and responsive but she never gives me any meaningful suggestions or recommending properties, but showing homes only when I ask.

I heard in the past that some RE agents sued the sellers or buyers because they worked together but then RE agents were not included when the transaction occurred.

Is there any professional rule when changing RE agent? Should I tell her I will change RE agent? I guess I should make an offer with her if the property was seen with her in the past, right? I just don’t want to create legal issues or headaches for the future, but I cannot continue to work with someone who is not proactive enough.

Please help me with your insightful advices. Thank you.
