Off Market Opportunity Question

[Taylor Calloway]

Hi! I have been trying to get a distressed/value add LTR property under contract in my local market for some time now. Last August a decent pre-foreclosure opportunity came available on the MLS and my agent took us to see the home and submitted two offers below asking that were too low for the seller at the time.

Apparently the seller was able to avoid foreclosure and the home delisted after it didn’t sale. I have been considering reaching out to the seller to see if they are still interested in selling the property and just this week I found a Facebook marketplace posting from the seller trying to sell their home off market because “it became too much for her to maintain alone”. 

My question is, because my agent was involved in showing the home and made offers for us while it was listed (6 months ago) should I go through them or it is okay to pursue this as any other off market property without an agent?

Trying to be professional and courteous. Thanks for the help BP!
