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.


Listing contract includes among other things : "A beginning date and a
termination date"
Wait until termination date sell/buy directly and save whatever %
agent charges


Maybe ... IF the house doesn't sell in the meantime. IF the seller doesn't
immediately re-list with the same (or another) realtor. IF ... IF ... IF ...



"The terms and conditions under which the brokerage fee shall be paid
by the seller."


If the customer from the street wants to but it ..is an agent still
entitled to the fee ?


Most listing contracts do specify that, yes.


Most does not mean all .. and it does not mean that you cannot include
that provision in the agreement to have an option to sell to
anybody....halllooooo ?


Let's review.

The OP is asking about bypassing the realtor, on a house that is *already*
listed with a realtor.

That means that a listing contract between the seller and the realtor
*already*exists*.

And the buyer can't alter the terms of that contract.

Which part of this is hard for you?
