If you want to get the most out of a listed deal, I always recommend you approach the listing agent without using your own realtor, provided you have the know-how to negotiate, perform due diligence, and navigate the purchase process well.As an aside, I do not recommend buying a property for 230k, or even 200k, that is only renting for 2100/mo.
