Following is the description of a “facilitator” -”facilitator – a real estate licensee who assists in arranging real estate transactions. The distinction, if any, between traditional real estate brokers and facilitators is that facilitators tend to charge hourly fees for their services, rather than charging a commission rate.”

Each state has different rules and regulations. In the form you signed with the facilitator did it indicate you had to stay with that person for a certain amount of time and is there a monetary agreement? If not, you are free I would think, to have anyone you want help you find a home. If you are receiving unprofessional emails, etc from them you should report them to your local Board of Realtors. Also, I would think twice about a family member as an agent. Usually a seller needs to disclose everything they truthfully know about the home their selling. Good luck!
