What do you hope to accomplish?

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

How's that going to save any money? The realtor's contract is with the seller,
not with the buyer.

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

Again -- the seller has already listed the house with the realtor. Whatever
the terms of the listing contract may be, the buyer cannot alter them.


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

Perhaps -- but that's not what he said.

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 ...

Please explain how the buyer can alter the contract between the seller and the
seller's realtor. Be specific. Give details.

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

One wonders how many homes you've bought or sold...
