Can a wholesaler hire a realtor to list property on MLS

[Jay Ben]

Hello everyone, I was told you can hire a broker to list a property on the mls when having it under contract. I am wondering if there is a way to check if it’s allowed in other markets. I am in Los Angeles and I heard it’s not allowed in California but in Pensacola it’s apparently allowed? Anybody have more info on this? Thanks!

WAIT stop.

  WTH?!

I am completely confused here. Before even answering this question...

The whole point of cash offers, including "wholesaling" is that it is an ALTERNATIVE to listing it.

So you as the wholesaler are going to list the property... 

So why are you as the wholesaler even there? Why doesn't the seller just list it DIRECTLY with the agent? What is the value you offer?

Does the seller know?

And NO, .. I mean I am not an agent and I am not an expert but there is NO WAY you can list a property you do NOT own on the MLS. That makes absolutely no sense.

So who is responsible, if "the seller" didn't disclose that there are termites or no operating smoke detectors?!

Mind is malfunctioning right now...
