What’s the right way to contact the seller?

[Michael Cote]

So I’m buying a property from somebody off of zillow, and to be honest, I would like to ask the seller questions, but I’m not sure what the best route to do that is. So far I’ve just been using my agent to connect to their agent, who then tells the seller. Is there a better way to do this? Can I just call or text them? I’m not sure of the property etiquette here. I always hear of wholesalers talking directly through the owners by simply using zillow. How does one do this?
