The answer to your question should be somewhere in your listing contract. Read it carefully.

In general, if you withdraw your home from the market or "unlist" as you called it, you can not relist or FSBO until the listing period has expired. A contract is a legal document and you must abide by the terms you agreed to the day you signed it.

You could ask the Realtor to expire your listing but, from what you have told us, I don't think that is going to happen.
Maybe he simply needs to hear the same thing that I said in my original post AGAIN, in order for it to sink it. Thanks!!!!:D

Want to Unlist

If your house has features that a Buyer wants, then it will sell and you're away from the concern about cancelling your Listing Agreement. If you were able to convert to a FSBO, you'd still have to pay a Buyer Agent if s/he brings a buyer, which could be around 3%.

If it costs you money to get out, i.e., net loss, compare this to your long term goal--which is moving forward to your next destination.
