Lease Option Question

[Gerald Thompson]

OK... I need some advice.  I have a property that has been listed by a realtor.  No more than a week into the contract I get a potential lease option deal on the same house.  This was not through the realtor.  What can I do in this situation?  I do not want to create a bad relation with my realtor, but also don't want a lead to get away.  I thought of standard rent for 6 months (end of contract obligation) but the tenant doesn't want to leave when the house sells.  Should I walk from the deal and hope for a sale later?

Thoughts?

Thanks,

Gerald
