Question: Buying a listed property

Hi everyone, 

This is a noob question I'm sure but I have someone asking me if I can buy a property that is listed because its taking too long to sell.  Is it possible for me to do that without the seller having to pay the agent or do we have to wait for the listing to expire?

Best,

JD

Good question... Whether they'll pay 3 or 6% depends on their listing agreement with the agent. Some agents do not charge their sellers the buyer-side commission if there is no buyer agent.
