Steps to buy direct from seller?

[Jason Bilbrey]

Seeking guidance... I've always purchased through the MLS but I've found an owner who will sell directly. I've listened to hundreds of hours of podcasts and read a ton of articles but most seem to gloss over the details... In Wisconsin, what do I need to do to make the offer, and then once accepted actually get the deal done? Does a title company handle everything if I talk to them? Will the bank that's doing my financing guide me on everything I need to do? Do I need a real estate attorney?

Please, if anyone could share a step-by-step I would greatly appreciate it.

Sincerely yours,

Lost & Confused!
