[quote=peterb]Listing on the MLS gives the transaction the look of legitimacy and may be required and audited as well.
Go in and tell them you want to buy from them with cash. If they think they’ll be getting both sides of an easy deal, you should get traction.
And now that the moratorium is lifted until July, they may be more inclined to do business as well.

I guess some people might as well try that first. If it doesn’t meet their needs the can always take up with a buyer’s agent on real MLS properties. Or if you really like your agent take him/her into the REO office to check out “pocket listings” to handle your side at at a smaller commission. Yeah, it all gives me the creeps …Just a thought too.
