If you have a complaint against a real estate agent you would need to file it with the licensing department of your state. A Realtor complaint would be filed with the local board. Many times you can contact the Broker and get the issues resolved without ever having to file a complaint.

I'm sorry that some of you have had a bad experience when buying a home but there are few good Realtors left. If you ever want to purchase property in Branson, MO look me up, I will take good care of you!

PS - You are NEVER tied into a contract with an agent. If you do not get along with your agent or feel you are being adequately represented you have the right to submit written notice to the Broker to either terminate your relationship with the firm or have the Broker refer an agent that will be better suited for you.

I bet there are some good buys right now - - of course, the house might be sitting in the middle of Table Rock Lake!
