Listing agreement legalities

[Jesse Aaron]

Hey everyone, I have my first listing agreement set to expire in about 2 weeks. We’ve had a contract in place, but the buyer has backed out twice. He says he’s needing more time for his funding source to come through. I’ve told my agent that I’m not pushing the closing date again. This person was already dishonest by saying he had the funds initially. Now the realtor says that since he has to relist it (which it should have been put in pending status instead of sold status imo) that I would need to sign another 6 month listing agreement. I want out of this contract with no legal battle. By saying I’m walking away from this offer because he’s postponed closing twice, and the realtor still having two weeks in the original listing agreement, what are my options? Can I not sign anything and wait out the two weeks?
