Closing Without an Attorney Involved

[Jarred S.]

I am in the midst of a purchase and an old school seller says he doe not want attorneys involved. I informed him we would still be getting title insurance and running a title search and he was okay since that was coming out of my pocket. From there though I am very unsure of everything. Would we not go to closing? How would the transfer tax split still be paid for? He mentioned anyone can record the deed and that part makes ssense. I believe I would just send the proper documents to the courthouse for recording thus avoiding all recording fees.

Can the more experienced investors of the Bigger Pockets community help me with any advice? I would really appreciate it.

I do not believe the seller is acting shady or mischievous in any way. I just believe he is unfamiliar with how things are done with this action nowadays.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jarred
