Overview: You're thinking about buying a house? Without an agent? This article gives some advice to help you to understand the typical house-buying experience, or to send you wailing and sobbing all the way to the nearest friendly, understanding real estate agent. Solicit the help of professionals you trust, keep them "in the loop" as the process unfolds, and you should be in good shape. While planning the strategy, keep in mind the motives of each player in the process, including your own. Understanding motives lends insight into the actions of other persons. Even when deciding for buying a home without an agent is too complex or time consuming for you, remember that an agent is not a legal representative, inspector, loan originator, or family member. A person, as the buyer, still need to define what the housing needs are, properly evaluate properties, and negotiate with lenders. A good agent is no substitute for a good attorney, and there are no guarantees that an agent is even representing your best interests.
