I am with Lainie on this one.. why would you want to avoid using a Realtor when it does not cost you anything?
I know, I know so many people will tell you the cost of the home includes the commision but that is just not true. A home is bought and sold for what it is worth no more... no less! This is based on current market conditions, recent sales etc.. the fact that a seller is not paying the Real Estate commision does not change the price of the home it just changes where the money goes.. the seller pays for all the marketing efforts them selves & they have to pay a Real Estate attorney.
Also I have seen many FSBO over price there home because they just don't know the market conditions and then a buyer comes and pays the overpriced amount because they didn't have an Agent to advice them of the actual vaule of the home.. then guess what you paid more than you needed to for the home & you had to handle everything on your own.
My advice is to seek the help of a good agent in your area, let me know if you need a refferal! Best of luck!! |

Wow. It doesn't cost you any money to use a Realtor to buy a home so why wouldn't you want someone to work for you for free? Please email me and explain your reason for wanting to represent yourself. You are really limiting your options and adding stress to your life if you decide to go it alone.
Do you think that if you represent yourself the commissions will be reduced from the price? If you think that you're wrong. What it does is put more money in the listing agent's pocket or the sellers.
I am concerned for you. If you want advice on purchasing real estate without a Realtor I will give you some basic law info and answer any questions you may have. |

1) go to your local library and take out "first time homebuying for dummies"
2) when you find the house you want ...GET A LAWYER. |

Internet links would not help you, (each state has it is own rules) First find a home, than contact the owner, tell the owner Ur idea. (No Realtor please) if they agree, do Ur home work as how much u like to pay for the property. (that is other story) than if he agree (and u did Ur home work as how much you like to pay for the house) look for a lawyer (real estate ) make sure to protect ur self from all if and what, than make sure the lawyer is repeatable check better business bureau. God luck ,home sweet home. |

Your best bet if you wish to do it alone is to get a book. Online sites are limited. Dont look for the easy way. Not going to a R.E. broker and not getting a book soley to depend on free internet information shows laziness. A R.E. broker should not have to charge a buyer. They should get their commission from the seller. Therefore why not use a R.E. broker. On the other hand a seller has to pay a broker so they should have a greater interest in selling there home without a R.E. broker. A buyer should use as many brokers as possible. They can also negotiate on your behalf. What if you, on your own, find a home that IS represented by a broker. Now you're still dealing with a broker. When buying a home there are seller broker and buyer brokers. Seller brokers have the best interest of the seller at heart during the purchase. Is this the person you want to deal with as a buyer. This person regardless of there moral beliefs will keep things from you in order for their client to have the upper hand. A buyer broker has your interest at heart. Lawers also love it when brokers arent involved because they can say anything and not have to be contradicted by anyone. On the other hand a R.E. broker knows the law, therefore deterring the lawyer from making improper statements. Having a buyer broker is a win win situation. Also a buyer broker has access to listings that you would not normally have access to. If you want to buy a home where no broker is involved then visit the links below. You can also learn alot by navigating through the sites:
