You are probably skeptical right away that you can actually simplify your life by buying your next home without a realtor? Isn't the realtor supposed to be the one who does all the work so that you simply show up and sign on the dotted line. Yes, of course, but have you ever wondered what you could do with all that money (depending on the price of your home, it can run into tens of thousands of dollars)? You could do so many other things that will make your life simpler and better.
When people first begin looking for a home, many buyers ask "can't we do this on our own? Do we really need to use a Real Estate Agent?" The answer is yes, you can do it on your own. There is no law that prevents you, as an individual, from buying property without professional Real Estate assistance. You can search for homes, arrange showings, and even negotiate on your own (although, in some localities, the actual contract for purchase will need to be drawn up by an Attorney). The real question may be "do we want to do it on our own?"
