How did you get into houses to view them without an agent to open the lockboxes? How did you assmble all the paperwork required for your states contract? I've long seen agents as unnecessary and would like to avoid one to make my offer stronger.
- dminor 14y agoSorry for the late reply - you can just call the seller's agent and have them show you around. We used a real estate lawyer to draw up the contract and to have someone we could ask negotiation advice from if we needed it. Far cheaper than the 3% cut. Be aware that in most agent contracts the selling agent is entitled to the full commission if there is no buyer's agent, so how attractive your offer is depends on the relationship between the seller and their agent. Also, every agent you meet will try to get you to use them as an agent, so make it clear you are acting without an agent.
