buying from homepath.com
Hi,
I'm considering a house from homepath.com, FHA, OO ... first time home buyer ... I got a few questions.
- Do I do it myself or go through it with realtor (I signed some contract with Realty)?
- Can I see the house before I put an offer in?
Please let me know. Thanks,
Sebastian

Yes, it's just like buying any other house. You'll need a preapproval, and of course you should see the property before placing an offer. No disadvantage to using your own buyer's agent, and as a first timer well, "you don't know, what you don't know".
