Realtor or Lawyer

[Ronald Stark]

Hi All,

I have yet to make my first property purchase. If I find a property from one of the various web sites and I wish to make an offer on it which process should I follow. Just contact the selling realtor (assuming I don't have one representing me) or make sure a realtor is representing me on the buyer side. Maybe I should ask a lawyer to represent me? Since I found the property do I still need representation?

Thanks,

Ron
