Real estate agent contract termination covid-19

Samson Tefera

Posted

I signed a 3 month contract with Real Estate agent to sell my house, however, due to covid-19 and showings suspension, I would like to get out of that contract, as I do not see the benefit of just online showings, since anything online is something I can do myself.

However, I do not have any force majeure clause in the contract.

I still have a month and a half left before contract expires.

Would it be unfair to ask to terminate my contract with the real estate agent and void all agreements on that contract?

Agreed i know my wife would never ever make someone keep their home on the market that wish's to take if off market and would let you out. And when i was doing this I would do the same.. the bad vibes are not worth it.
