Buying an apartment without an agent

7 years ago
Hello,

I've searched an apartment to buy around Roma lately, in one case I approached an agent, asked some general questions via mail, got some answers, NO commitment was made to use the agent's services etc..
Anyway, I've found out the very same apartment on airbnb, it turned out that the owner is trying to sell his house while still trying to rent it for short periods.
My question: Can I approach the owner directly regarding the possibility to buy his apartment?
Is it 'ok' to bypass the agent ?

Many thanks,
Gongi
