Michigan is no place to sign 1-year listing

Q: My husband and I have two properties in Michigan that we have listed with a real estate agent. She has had the properties listed for four months and we have not had a single showing or even an inquiry into them. She says that they are priced right, but there just aren't any buyers for our properties. We would like to cancel the listing with her.

The listing agreement states that it can be cancelled only if we and her company agree in writing. We gave notice in writing that we want to cancel the contract. The selling agent and her broker both said "no."
