My friend is selling her house which I am really keen to buy. Unfortunately when I found she is selling the property it has already been listed with a real estate company (Sole Agency).
Can I still buy privately and would the seller be liable for commission since I found about the sale directly from the buyer, we have known each other for a while and I have been in their house long before it went on the market (so I did not have to see the listing photos to make a decision). I have also made no contact or engagement with the real estate agency so they cannot say that their listing in any way influenced my decision to buy the property.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
