In most cases, if you signed a buyer agreement in Rhode Island, you may be committed to working with that agent for a certain period, depending on what the agreement says. The key is the fine print. Look at the length of the agreement, any cancellation terms, and whether it’s exclusive. Some agreements let you cancel with written notice. Others may require the agent to release you first. Before you start seeing homes with someone else, read that agreement carefully. The last thing you want is finding the right house and then dealing with a commission dispute. A quick conversation with your current agent usually clears this up faster than people expect.

If you signed a buyer agreement in Rhode Island, you may be committed to working with that agent for a certain period, especially if it’s an exclusive agreement. That doesn’t automatically mean you’re stuck forever, but it does mean you should read the agreement carefully. Look at the term, cancellation language, and whether there’s a protection period. Before seeing homes with another agent, I’d review what you signed first. The last thing you want is finding the right house and ending up in a commission dispute.

Diane, if you signed a buyer representation agreement or addendum in Rhode Island, that usually means you agreed to work with that agent for a set period of time. The details depend on the agreement itself—some are exclusive, meaning you’d owe that agent a commission even if you bought through someone else. If you’re not happy, the best move is to talk with your agent and see if they’ll release you. Most good agents don’t want to hold a client hostage. If you’re unsure, it’s worth having an attorney or the brokerage explain your specific contract so you know exactly where you stand.
