I had a contract to sell a commercial building in Texas. Two or three days prior to the expiration date, I sent an email to my realtor. In the subject line it said termination and lock codes. In the body f the letter I said nothing about terminating earlier than the signed contract. I sent this email to her to basically get the codes to supply my new realtor to access to the property. I never mentioned to terminate early. I knew she had a possible client and even though she didn't sell the property, I wanted to see if she could get an offer placed in the last couple of days. The contract had been extended one month and a couple of weeks as she was changing brokers. I did sign a new contract for her to work with a new broker, cut never signed a termination of contract. She is now saying I own her for money she spent while trying to find a buyer. Is there something you need to sign to terminate a contract? My local realtor said that there is.
