Buying a listed house - strategies

[Jeff Fairchild]

So I arrive at my appointment with the seller, and low and behold, I forgot to ask if she was working with anyone else. There was a realtor sign in the yard. Initially I was wanting to buy the house via a subject to or lease option. What options for buying do I have when the house is listed?

[Nick J.]

have the listing canceled, or pay the realtor out of the money you would get as the option money to make him/her go away!

obviously I like option#1

explain to her(seller) that she would get a higher selling price is she works with you directly............

there was some posts that Mike C and I had detailing how that works

did you do the stare and shut up thing?
