Facing a realtor in Sub 2 deal?

[Cesar Romero]

Have a potential Sub 2 deal but the house is listed with a realtor. My concern is the agent would try and convince the seller not to agree because it's obviously not a typical transaction where money is necessarily put on the table. I'm considering asking the seller to take if off market first. Just curious if anyone had dealt with this? Thanks.

I'm an agent so take this for what it's worth but I'd take a dim view of any buyer trying to talk directly to my seller. The seller has a contract in place for the Realtor to speak on their behalf and all dealings should go through them. Even if you did somehow talk the seller into going off the market they are still liable for the terms of the contract and the compensation to the listing agent.
