Asking listing agent what’s wrong with a property?

[Kyle Curtin]

Hi everyone!

I just had a quick question. So I am have a full time job and am a newer agent that is not experienced and am looking for my first property and wanted to hear the communities opinion on this.

I see online expireds as well as active properties with few gallery pictures of just the outside of the property with high DOM in a fast paced market assuming there is something going on inside. Can I call the listing agent and ask what is a large concern with the property that would turn away most people to find out what is wrong with it and dig further? Or would I have to more or less walk the property and then try to find something off? Or potentially put in an offer and find out from the inspection? I know it’s in the listing agents best interest to sell the property, but would he/she disclose the information if I called and asked?

Thank you,
