Can buyers and sellers talk?

[Ian Whiteman]

Forgive my ignorance but is there actual law preventing buyers and sellers from speaking? There is a property I had under contract, that is no longer under contract. We are now trying to come to a new agreement with the seller, after about a month. I do not feel my realtor is properly conveying my message to the seller and visa versa. Perhaps it is my nature as a salesperson but I honestly feel if I could have a 10-minute conversation with the seller I could put all of the issues to rest and resolve this. Half the time I can barely get the sellers agent to relay a message, inquiry, etc, to the seller and the feeling of there being too many middlemen is driving me insane. Any insight is greatly appreciated.
