Canceling A real estate investment company?

I'm trying to get a real estate investment company canceled. They haven't done any work to try to sell the home or spent any money on listing. It alls I have is an agreement on purchase price and a 90-day agreement. I do not want to work with this company. They were not honest and what they were telling me over the phone. They pressured me in signing an agreement to list my home and found out things in the agreement were not as they claim. I have reached out to them several times to terminate with them and they will not respond. Can I terminate them after the 90 days business days are up? I am not interested in working with this company and I will not be forced to work with them and I am not selling them my home. I just don't know where to turn from here.

📌 Canceling a Real Estate Investment Company Contract — What Are Your Rights? You are not stuck, and you are not forced to sell your home to anyone. What you can do depends on the exact agreement you signed — but in almost every case, these “investment company” contracts are cancelable, unenforceable, or expire automatically if they haven’t performed. Let’s break it down. 🏡 1. A Purchase Agreement Is NOT a Listing Agreement You said you signed: - A purchase price agreement, and - A 90‑day agreement This sounds like a wholesaler or investor contract, not a traditional listing agreement. Important difference: 👉 If they didn’t buy the home within the 90‑day period, the contract expires. They cannot force you to sell after that. 📅 2. Once the 90 Days Are Up, You’re Free If the contract says 90 days, then on Day 91: - You owe them nothing - You are not obligated to sell - You can hire a real agent - You can sell to someone else - They cannot file anything against your property unless you signed something allowing it They don’t need to “approve” your cancellation — the contract ends on its own. ⚠️ 3. What If They Try to Ignore You? These companies often: - Ghost sellers - Delay - Hope you get confused - Try to pressure you into staying in the deal But legally: 👉 Silence does not extend a contract. 👉 Pressure does not create a binding agreement. 👉 They cannot force you to sell. If the contract expired, they have zero power. 🧾 4. What You Should Do Right Now A seasoned pro would tell you to take these steps: 1️⃣ Re‑read the contract for: - Start date - End date - Any “automatic renewal” language - Any cancellation clause 2️⃣ Send a written termination notice anyway Even if the contract expires automatically, send a simple email or letter: “This is written notice that I am terminating our agreement effective immediately. Do not market my property or represent me in any capacity.” 3️⃣ Keep all communication in writing No more phone calls. 4️⃣ If they filed anything against your property (rare), get legal help Most of these companies cannot legally record a lien or memorandum unless you explicitly allowed it. 🧠 5. When You Should Get an Attorney You only need legal help if: - They recorded something on your title - They threaten legal action - The contract has confusing or predatory language Most attorneys can handle this with a simple letter, not a full case. 🎯 Bottom Line You cannot be forced to sell your home. If the agreement was for 90 days and they didn’t perform, it expires — period. Their lack of response does not trap you. You can walk away, hire a real agent, and move on.

Firstly I recommend that you contact a Real Estate Attorney in your area. Review your agreement carefully for any cancellation clauses or auto-renewal provisions. If they are unresponsive, send a written termination notice via certified mail stating that you are no longer bound by the agreement. If they continue to ignore your requests or attempt to enforce the contract beyond the agreed term, consult a real estate attorney or your local real estate board (assuming the are licensed) for guidance on formal termination options. The information provided in this response is for general informational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice. I am not an attorney, and this response does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you require legal assistance regarding your real estate contract or termination rights, please consult a qualified real estate attorney or legal professional in your jurisdiction.

Janelle, sorry to hear about your experience with this company. I am not a law but I would think that the contract will end on the date stated in the contract. It’s up to you extend the agreement. I hope this helps.
