Can I sell someone's home for them?

So I came across a home today that I am interested in buying. The seller is more interested in a quick "traditional" purchase then he is in talking about other financing options. But the experience raised a question in my mind. 

I am not a realtor and have no intention of getting my license. Can I agree on a purchase price with the seller that is below ARV, with a delayed closing and then look for a buyer and take the difference of the purchase prices?

Basically it sounds like I would be selling his house for him but saving him the seller's agent cost and then marking his house up. It just made we wonder if I could do that or if that was similar enough to what a realtor does that I would get in some kind of trouble for not being an agent?

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks

KC
