Bait and switch agents?

Hi there, I’m sorry you had that experience—that’s definitely frustrating, especially when you’re on a tight timeline. The first thing I would recommend is reviewing any buyer broker agreement you may have signed with the brokerage or agent. In most cases, buyers are under a representation agreement, which could outline how to cancel or make changes. If you’re unsure, you can always ask the agent or their broker for clarification. Before making a full switch, it may be worth reaching out to the agent you originally connected with and sharing your concerns. Let them know you were expecting to work directly with them and how the experience felt. In many cases, this can be resolved quickly by ensuring you’re paired with the right person moving forward. If that doesn’t feel like a good fit, you can request to be released from the agreement or ask about reassignment within the same brokerage. Most professionals want you to feel comfortable and confident, and will work toward a solution—especially given your timeline. At the end of the day, you should feel supported and well-represented throughout the process. Don’t hesitate to advocate for that. Best of luck with your home search!
