If she is not writing the offer that you want her to write then she is most likely breaking your contract already. When she showed you the property she should have also told you about dual agency and had you sign a paper stating that you agree. At that point she should not give an opinion of what you should offer, only state public facts about other listings and sales in your area.

Don’t get into a battle, talking with her and her broker will solve the problem and get you the house you want…..hopefully.

Kaye,

As an agent I always try to stay away from a dual agency situation. It is difficult to represent both parties in one transaction without leaving one party feeling short-changed. I would do as Joy suggested and voice your concerns with your agent. If he/she does not agree to terminate your agreement then you may contact the broker. If this happens in my office, my broker will assign the buyer to another agent in the office who will then write the offer. The worse that could happen is your offer could be countered back and/or rejected. Then you know where you stand.

Hope this helps you.

Be honest with her. Tell her exactly what you wrote in your question and ask her to cancel the Agency contract. Agents do not want to represent clients that don't want to work with them. If she refuses, talk to her Broker.
