You haven't received any replies because, being a beginner, I'm not sure if you realize how ridiculous and unrealistic this request is. 

You can have the listing agent show you and write up the offer/ while they are not representing you what will you I agree with @Russell Brazil - an agent will lose money on those types of deals.For all disclosure I halve bought a sub30k property and used "buyers agent" but it was local agent who showed me that 1 property and wrote up the offer, I was not using her exclusively as a buyers agent but who responded to my Zillow request and I flat out asked if she was ok showing it because I knew her commission would almost be zero.
