How to gracefully break up with your real estate agent

A year and a half ago I listed a parking space for sale with a real estate agent. When the listing was about to expire, I relisted it for six months. Last week I got a request from the agent to list it for another year. I instead opted for three months and she had a fit. She demanded that I renew for a year. When I resisted, she said that she didn’t want to work with me anymore and that I should send the cancellation fee of $350 to her office.

Can she dump me and charge me for it? There is a $350 fee written into the contract if the listing is canceled or expired, but I didn’t cancel it! I sent her my authorization to extend it for three months, then even changed it to six. Can she just arbitrarily do that?
