Circumventing Wholesaler

[John Barnes]

Hi everyone, general question here.

Interested in a property that came through in an email from a wholesaler. Cannot reach them by any method for a week. I saw through tax records who owns the property. Would it be wise to skip the wholesaler at this point and go to the sellers directly to buy the property? Or can they not sell it now because the wholesaler technically owns it at this point? Unsure about that. I'm happy to give the wholesaler my business but if I can't get in touch with them (multiple emails and voicemails), I feel like I need to do something to get this property.

If anyone knows, let me know.

thahnks,
John
