Why should wholesalers not buy homes listed with a realtor?

Hey BP,

Every script I see for wholesaling asks, "Is your home currently listed with a realtor/agent?"

...and if the answer is yes, then move on.

Why is this? Is it just bad for business?...or are there ACTUAL consequences/restrictions for doing so?

Thanks BP,

Jordan

Because we shouldnt interfere with a professional trying to sell a house and the 6% in agent commission is too expensive from an advertising dollar perspective.
