You cannot sell another person's real property unless they execute a Power of Attorney that gives you the authority to convey on their behalf. The buyer's attorney will require an original copy of the POA and an affidavit from you stating the POA has not been revoked. Those documents will be recorded with the deed of conveyance in the land records.
On the other hand, if you are simply asking if you can sell another person's property and keep the proceeds the answer is no. You can only sell what you own. Your deed would be null and void and you may face criminal prosecution.
