Can a seller force buyer to sign sight unseen document?

Hello fellow BP members. I've been lurking the forums studying as much as I could since January 2019. Today I came across what appears to be a solid deal on the MLS. The property is 2+ hours away and wanted to put in my first offer ever with my realtor before the house gets shown. The response I got from the realtor was that it's not good to offer without seeing the place first. I recall hearing on one of the podcasts where the guest said that one can make the offer and back out if one finds something that breaks the deal. The idea of beating the crowd while maintaining the safety of being able to perform due diligence seem like a groundbreaking strategy. But now the realtor told me that the seller can force me to sign a sight unseen document/contract makes me want to rethink this strategy. So first off, can a seller do that legally? I've never came across this issue at least on BP so any help would be tremendous.
