Posting for birddogs
Well the mls in my area is getting too hot. If I go on Craigslist there are a few I'll buy your house cash ads up. If i posted finders fee offered. I'll give you $××× I was thinking $500, if you can get me in contact with a seller that is not currently on the mls. Gee paid when the deal closes. Then say I'm a cash buyer, can close quickly etc. Is this legal?

Careful finding bird dogs on Craigslist because most of them are just want to waste your time. If someone is very interested, don't hire him/her immediately. Do some screen interview and background check if he/she is truly qualified for the job.
