Finding Owner Phone Number
Is there a way I can find the actual owners number instead of going through a Realtor or Property M. I think the seller of the home is in some kind of agreement to where they can't advertise the home outside the realtor. Websites like Trulia, Realtor.com and even Zillow all generally show either the property managers phone number or a realtors. How can I navigate around this? Thanks.

@Caleb Heimsoth That’s fine. I’ll risk being blocked vs. doing nothing, because I can’t find an address or phone number.
I’ve done this a couple times and have always received respectful responses. It hasn’t produced a deal yet, but people respond.
I’ve made a couple investor contacts this way. I ask about a property, they are not interested in selling, but we keep in contact after realizing we are both investors. One of these people HAS contacted me about a year later to use my husband as an agent when he wanted to invest in our town.
