Wholesale a listed property?
So I got a call off a Craigslist "We buy houses in any condition" ad. The seller just listed on the MLS with an agent and I checked out the listing, house is clean and in pretty good condition. There doesn't seem to be a need for them to sell quickly for cash, just kicking tires seeing if they can get a cash offer that would end up being more beneficial than getting their full asking price through a realtor. Regardless of the fact that I don't think they would sell at a deep discount, my question is - Aren't they bound to sell through their agent since they have listed it on the MLS? Like, someone can't have a property listed with an agent, then go find a cash buyer on their own and cut out the agent completely, right?
