Yellow letter to Withdrawn listing

Jim Robinson
  • Wilmington, DE
Posted

Hi Everyone,

So I'm looking into buying my first house in the coming months in the suburban Philadelphia area. A property I have been watching (waiting for the list price to drop) was just withdrawn from the MLS. So i was thinking about writing a yellow letter to the owner and seeing if they are interested in selling the property without a realtor...

Essentially I am trying to eliminate the realtor's commission so the buyer can save some money and ultimately I can get a better deal. My uncle is a realtor so I'm sure he could write up a contract for me if it ends up working out. 

I was wondering what I would watch out for? Do I have to wait for contracts to expire with the realtor? Is there a specific way I should word the letter?

Really appreciate any insight! Thanks so much!

Jim
