Can I switch realtors?

Profile picture for natryanjones
I was not working with a realtor but found a house online I wanted to see.  The listing agent showed me the home. She did not follow up or contact me after the showing. A couple weeks later, the home was taken off the market.  I then began working with a new realtor.  I see the home is back on the market.  Can I buy the home through the realtor I am working with now?

Yes, you can. I would recommend to tell your agent that you saw this property before and your agent will act appropriately.

Remember that the listing agent always represents the seller. It is for that reason that it is best for a buyer to have their own agent (buyers agent) to educate and be their advocate from contract to close. Good luck on your purchase.

I agree with the other comments.  I goal is to help you find your desired home and the Seller to have a 'ready, willing and able Buyer'.

Yes, being that the home was pending and now available its more than appropriate to use a new agent. We agents just want the best for our clients, and I always recommend not using the same agent for both the listing and buying side, ask yourself who is the agent really pulling for when they represent both sides. 

Hope that helps!

You should buy the home using the agent you want to use,

To avoid any potential complications, I would explain the situation to your current agent and let the agents resolve whatever issues they may or may not have.
