Marketing property
If I run across a FSBO , can I ask them if I can sell their house for them even though I am not a realtor? Of course, I would get a fee. But I would continue to sell by owner and i would put it on my website, facebook and craigslist, Basically, I would do the marketing for them.
Anything unethical, illegal about that?

@Russell Brazil is exactly right. You would have to purchase the property in order to sell it on your own. You could get a license and sell it. The third method is wholesaling. Although, legal in the state of FL there are specific steps that need to be taken in order to be considered legal. You could wind up with fines and time in prison. I prefer my freedom so I got licensed. Check your local laws to ensure accuracy
