So if I was to approach the vendor after the end of the listing (to correctly ascertain his/her motive) what would be the correct etiquette, and are you then obligated to notify the previous agent?

I've actually seen that site before, and unfortunately it doesn't have very comprehensive listings. No data about which agent it was with, no photos etc.

Are there any other resources that could be used for this kind of research?

(is this likely to get a better price, or not – keeping in mind that the seller would no longer have to pay a comission?)
