Do you avoid marketing to sellers who are already on the MLS?

Hi,

I'm currently going through my list to launch my next marketing campaign and I'm sifting through (which is probably more work than I need to do at the moment) but after checking some of these properties out, some of them are currently listed with a Realtor. But they've been on the market for quite a while.

Do folks bother marketing to these sellers?

I know there might be an off chance they may not be happy with the current Realtor or are looking for a much quicker closing.

But is it worth it? And is it ethically responsible? I'm a real estate agent but not a current Realtor.

Thanks in advance!

@Frantzces Lys, interfering with another licensee's client while they are under contract will probably land you in a serious dispute. You could be fined, barred from joining the MLS or possibly lose your license. No, it is not at all ethical.
