Moving to Phoenix… cash buy help.

I know BP is an investor platform… and I currently only dable (2 sfrs and a 3rd coming on soon). I’m a novice. 

I recently accepted a job in Phoenix. So I'm putting the investments on hold and looking at buying a primary residence for cash (and use delayed financing once I clear a few things off my balance sheet)… Since I'm looking at multiple options, what is the best way to make sure I'm protected? Should I hire an attorney? Or a realtor? Or is there another alternative to represent my side of a transaction? Since I am "shopping" remotely, and my timeframe is limited, the odds are good I'll find something suitable on the MLS. If that changes your recommendations.

If odds are good you’ll find something off the mls, definitely use an agent… I’m not just saying that because I am one (not in Phx though) I used them before being licensed. You don’t pay for the buyer’s agent commission the seller does. It’s not going to save you money to not use a realtor… trick is to find someone willing to hustle and I get that. I’d definitely interview them and if you need more pointers feel free to ask.
