Want to terminate with realtor but he wants me to sign an exclusive selling agreement or pay for the professional pictures he had done

[/u/prodigy1367]

I tried to sell my house about 3 months ago. Didn’t get a single showing in a month because my realtor overpriced it. He did convince me so it’s not entirely his fault. Afterwards I decided to instead put it for long term rent and my realtor said he can find me a tenant and his fee is one month’s rent. It’s now been two months and I’ve only received one application and they have terrible credit. My home is situated in a popular vacation spot in Florida and is priced fairly. There’s nothing wrong with it, is in like new condition, and it was built in 2020. This leads me to believe it’s not the property or price. It’s the agent. I think the problem is my realtor not really trying or perhaps not advertising it correctly.

I told my agent I was looking into a property management company that specializes in finding tenants since I need my house rented out ASAP. He said if I wanted to go with someone else, he’d like if I at least signed an 18 month seller agreement with him or at least reimburse him for the professional photos he took. The actual contract has no termination fees or stipulations so this is essentially a courtesy he is asking of me. How can I approach this?
