Could I go around a realtor to buy a property?

[Mike Schorah]

Just drove by a pre-foreclosure that’s also an inherited property (double whammy). Spoke to the executor of the will. It has mold issues, roof issues… huge rehab. She said she would accept the first offer I gave her (so we agree on price).

She has a realtor, though. She wants a quick sale, sold in less than a week.

I hear that every listing somebody enters into, they’re pretty much unenforceable. Especially if they haven’t performed.

Could we go around the realtor to get this property sold?

if she has a legit listing agreement the seller can sell but they will still owe the realtor her/him full commission and whose to say they did no perform.. you should have called the agent and made your offer.. then the agent is performing not trying to go behind their back and cut them out.. thats bush league frankly.
