What do you hope to accomplish?

eee ???? save some money cutting out the middleman ? make sure u do
your homework first and then act ...

The contract the seller has with the realtor
almost certainly specifies that the realtor's commission is due when the house
sells -- without regard to whether the realtor originated the sale or not.

Crap ..there are many ways of signing contract with realtor

Furthermore, you can't "bypass the realtor" anyway without the seller's
consent:

That's why he wants to contact him to obtain that consent

the realtor's contractual relationship is with the *seller*, not with
the buyer, and there is *nothing* you can do to alter that.

Yeah rite ...

The seller is under no obligation to talk to you.

Of course not but it is worth trying, if you are a serious educated
customer
