I am looking into putting a house on the market in the NYC area. I have a builder interested but he has been putting me on hold for about 5 months now. I have done business in the past with him so I’m not THAT nervous about waiting. He is in the process of completing another build so he is waiting for the sale of this house to purchase mine. I was looking to get an agent to list the property and if I get an offer that’s more great. But. If the builder comes through can I stipulated this was my contact and no commission for the agent? Or get out of a contract? We presently only have a verbal agreement with the builder which is nothing to me. Is this something I can specify in the contract or are they pretty much-canned contracts.
