In that case, you simply restrict showings so as not to unduly inconvenience the sellers.If you have pretended that you are yourself going to close on their property and are not, then what may very well happen is that the seller will figure out what is going on and let the realtors know that they are accepting backup offers, which is absolutely their right even while under contract.  

My next few "I wanna pretend to buy your house" letters are going to be answered with personal phone calls after I finish my nightly workout, around midnight.

Basically, you just can't pretend to be an agent because that's fraud.

Don't Read it....But in reality, I think what you are secretly wishing for is the absence of Wholesalers and Realtors® in your "Real Life"... so you PRETEND it could be that way on your Online one.May I respectfully suggest that you.. instead of critique or criticize the way others do business... you sit down and listen or read?? 

I have a brother-in-law who pretends he is buying property for himself and his family to live in.

Pretend you only did this for one month - you move $10k from the HELOC to the principal, and you keep your own money in a separate checking account.

Now they are pretending it is to help neighborhoods remain stable and for the good of the people.

I pretend to write down his number, came home, and had a beer.
