Can I Switch Agents And Still Make The Purchase?

Definition of "Can I switch agents and still make the purchase?"

I looked at a property yesterday with a REALTOR® who seems to be clueless.  I am really interested in purchasing the property, though. Can I switch agents and still make the purchase?

 

If you truly want to purchase that property, the only ethical thing to do is to purchase it through that REALTOR. Otherwise, you could set up potential conflicts between your previous agent and whatever new agent you may choose.
