Listing a Propety before closing????

[Cameron Ellis]

Can I list a property on the MLS before the deal is fully closed? I'm purchasing a property from a private seller from my direct mail campaign, everything is ready to close but we are waiting until after the holidays to close so my team and start work immediately. But in the mean time can I would like to list the property as-is to see if I recieve any offers before I start work...

Can this be done? But more importantly is it legal, I fully disclose in my contract that I am an investor and my intentions are to either flip, hold, or lease the property for profit
