She had gotten to a point where she thought I would find fault with every house I looked at. The house I ended up buying, I actually hated the photos so I didn't want to ask her to show me that one. Turns out it was more impressive in person.
Ok, did you have a conversation with her about it? I mean if someone is working for you, and they are not doing to to your liking, most of the time a conversation solves a lot of problems. Don't know the entire story, but if she made a conclusion based off of what you were telling her, then thats probably on you.
You don't need to compensate. Explaining what happened with your health should be sufficient.
I was in a contract with my agent when I was looking at homes to buy. It expired in March. She still had the listing of the home I was selling. She never had me sign another contract with her at the end of March and I started looking at new construction that was going on in my area. I met with a builder several times and realized I could build a new home for less than existing homes I was looking at. My needs changed and I didn't require her services to help me with this. At first I felt bad, but I didn't require the agents services. I did apologize to the agent and she was fine with it.
If you have signed a buyer agency agreement with the agent, you could be obligated to pay her a commission as provided the the written agency agreement. The agreement probably has a provision to the effect that you will conduct all negotiations through her and that you will refer all communications from sellers to her. If you do not have a written agreement, you probably have no obligation regarding compensation. Ethically, in my opinion, whether or not you have a written agreement, you should inform her immediately that you are buying the property (if you have not already done that) so that she will not be wasting her time and other resources in finding you a suitable property.
If you trust your agent and want to continue with your agent after your health procedure then You have to tell the truth to her. Just be straightforward. You should be trustworthy with your agent.
A good way to compensate them is to give referrals for qualified buyers especially if they need to buy a place fast.
