Buying without an Agent

[Dustin Cramer]

Hey folks, I'm new to this and have questions about buying without an agent. I have bought two primary residences in the past, both with agents involved. I am looking at buying from wholesalers or maybe something cheap on the MLS. I am going to be doing a cash buy. Do I need an agent or will the settlement company be able to walk me through it? From what I understand, as long as I have a good purchase agreement, that would be the biggest issue. Any idea where to find a good template or completed document? I'm in Pennsylvania if that makes a difference. Also, for stuff on the MLS, should I just approach the listing agent and ask them to represent me as well for a discount? Any other pitfalls I need to be wary of? Any ideas would be appreciated, Thanks!
