If you could expand upon the reasons you are interested in "ditching" the particular agent, others could chime in with more targeted ideas.

Listing agreement vary from state to state.  It will also depend on what type of agency agreement you have signed with your agent.

In North Carolina,  a seller can be released if the agent has abandoned the seller, which means you never hear from the agent.  Another reason to be released is if the agent hasn't kept promises made.. 

Call your agent and discuss why you want to make the change and get their responce.  They may just go ahead and release you without any further discussion.

I assume there is no contract on the house.  If that is so you should be able to withdraw the offer.  Why do you want to fire your agent?  If they are not doing their work then it should be easy.   If it is because somebody offered by owner you might have difficulties.  How much work has your agent done for you?  Short sales are very hard for the listing agent.  If we are doing our job correctly we have to negotiate with the bank and prepare your hardship letters.  This might sound easy but it triples or quadruples the work involved in selling a home.  You also don't know if the bank will agree to the sale in the end and all the work is for naught.   Hope this helps.
