Submit offer through REO listing agent?

[Andrew DeMaster]

I just saw a bank owned property come up that I'd like to put in an offer on. Is there any advantage to making my offer through the bank's listing agent? for example, will they get paid a larger commission and possibly be more inclined to push the deal? Or am I just better submitting my offer through an agent of my choice? Also, with bank owned properties if it's a good deal is it expected that I offer list to have a chance at getting the property? Thanks in advance.
