If I rent my house after my Realtor can't sell it and our contract expires, do I owe him/her money?

Question

I'm trying to sell my house through a realtor right now, but we aren't getting any luck. Our contract period is until October. Can I rent the house myself afterwords if we don't sell by then and not owe him any money? Or does the 60 day period thing affect renting as well and I owe him money?

Answer 1

I think it depends on the terms of your agreement with the realtor and the laws of your state.

Answer 2

Read the contract. If it doesn't have some whacky rule about after the contract then that loser should not get a penny. Next time ask friends or neighbors which successful realtors they have used before you sign a contract.

Answer 3

if your contract is expired and you dont sell it you rent it you dont owe him a dime
