How to approach seller financing

[Joshua Bailey]

If I was working with a a realtor that listed a property on the MLS and am now deciding to suggest seller financing, how would you bring the topic up? Since he won't be getting a commission from the sale now I feel like any realtor would not want to deal with seller financing since there's nothing in it for them. Would you just go around the realtor and contact the seller directly, or is this a slime ball move?
