Contracts for Off-Market Deals

[Ethan Yuan]

Hi all,

For all the folks that buy off-market deals without the use of RE agents, what forms do you use to execute the deal? I've always used a realtors who provides the MLS standard documents for the offer, third party financing, etc. Are those forms still usable and binding if you use have a realtors? My properties are in Texas and attorneys are not a necessity to close (and I have never needed lawyers). Do you typically use lawyers to help with the paperwork?
