Would it be legal for me to negotiate directly with the buyer and get the home under contract, as long as the seller discloses all information to the realtor?

I highly recommend this book for negotiating and making offers. It has specifics about dealing with both agents and private sellers.

Im planning on negotiating this afternoon or tomorrow morning. =0

Also the reason for this is transfer taxes in PA are high and I want to avoid a double closing by assigning the contract. I cant do that through a realtor.

ANy ideas guys? Would it be alright not only legally but good business as long as I made sure the owner took the contract to their agent?

I’m pretty sure that it’s fine to negotiate directly with the owner of a listed property. Just make sure the agent knows about it. They’ll get their commission either way.
