Is it wrong ? The Double edged sword question we all wonder...
As a real estate investor we all know we want one thing, direct link to the goal of money. I don't like to chew on the fat or beat around the bush, so ...
Do you think it is wrong when; There is a house for sale listed with a agent/(broker etc..) and you go up knock on that individuals' door, and one way or another tell them ( and this can be in any number of ways, such as - Dont bother listing it with them/ Take it off the listing/ Save your 3-6% with me etc) and pretty much under cut the agent/broker and deal directly with the owner?
I would LOVE to hear everyone's opinions on this, We all know what were going to hear like
That's wrong-
Hey gotta get the deal the done
Deal is a Deal
I want to hear why you think it is wrong, does't have to be long or anything but can't put a number one reasoning
This question is in a few different sections, but no argument is without a other side- and please be mannerly, respectful and refined as we are all adults and professions working in the same realm.

It seems wrong to me for two reasons. You would not know about the house had the listing agent not marketed it. Then, you want to cut the agent out after he has spent his time and money making it noticeable to you. Second, it seems like you would be interfering in a contract between two people, and I believe that's illegal (could be wrong on that one, but it still seems wrong).
