Should our real estate agent have informed us if we terminated the contract as sellers there was a clause that they would still receive 5% commission ? Our agent never told us if we terminated the contract we would owe him the 5% when we signed the listing agreement. We wanted to switch agents but we didn’t realize this was written in the contract.

My agent is non-responsive and i think he's doing a horrible job negotiating the sale of my house. We've had interest but no one puts in an offer. Can I get rid of him and hire a new realtor? I live in maryland
I own a medical practice for which I rent space. The landlord happens to be the Dr. I bought the practice from. It's a basement level space with water damage. Most recently a pipe burst requiring plumbing repairs. Landlord says I bought the practice, so I should repair it despite the purchase agreement not listing plumbing, electrical and flooring specifically. My casualty insurance is only paying for damages, not repairs by the way.
