How can i get out of a buyers agreement?

First, know that you are not alone. It is frustrating when the agreement you thought you made with an agent does not match what you received in writing. In Oklahoma, the Buyer Broker Service Agreement (BBSA) is a legally binding contract, but it can usually be canceled if both you and the broker (not just the agent) agree in writing.

Here are your options:
✔️ Start by requesting to terminate the agreement in writing. Ask the broker (meaning the office’s broker, not just your agent) to formally release you.
✔️ If the broker refuses, review the agreement carefully. Some BBSAs have a “termination clause” explaining what happens if you want out.
✔️ Be aware of the protection period. Even if you terminate, you might still owe a commission if you buy a property you first saw with that agent within a certain time frame.
✔️ You may need to escalate. If you feel you were misled or pressured into signing under terms you did not agree to, you have the right to file a complaint with the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission (OREC).

Most reputable brokers will not want to force an unhappy buyer to stay under contract. Real estate is a relationship business, and no good broker wants a client who feels trapped.

At the end of the day, you should work with an agent who listens, communicates clearly, and honors what was agreed upon. If you need more resources, the Oklahoma Real Estate Commission offers consumer guidance at http://orec.ok.gov.

I'm sorry this happened to you, there is no standard on agreements. Everything is negotiable.

I totally agree with the prior answer. It looks like you have to address your concerns with the broker of record for the office that your agent works for. there is a possibility to cancel based on mutual agreement and no broker is going to want to force you to work with them. I am sure they will try to offer you to work with another agent. This would be your best option.

Being in a buyer’s agreement can feel a little like you’ve committed to something that no longer fits, and that can be uncomfortable. Here’s the good news: those agreements aren’t forever without options.

Most buyer’s agreements in Texas include a section that outlines how long the agreement lasts and the conditions for ending it. Sometimes it’s as simple as putting it in writing and giving notice; other times, it may require a conversation with the broker. The key is this—you have the right to ask, “What would it take to end this gracefully?” That one question does two things: it protects you legally, and it opens the door to a win-win resolution.

If you feel like the relationship isn’t the right fit, be honest but respectful. Agents should prefer to release you than risk bad blood or a complaint. At the end of the day, this is about trust and fit, not force. You deserve someone who feels like a partner, and you can get there by approaching the conversation directly but with kindness.
