What is the actual purchase process?

[Andy Thoman]

I've never bought any real estate aside from my residence that I used a agent in. So when I bought it, the agent basically lined everything up.

However, I am wondering what the process is if I wanted to do it without an agent.

Say that I already have a signed agreement by both parties for a property. What are my next steps (commonly)?

1). Who sets up the wire transfer-can I do it myself? 

2). Who sets up the escrow account? 

3). What documents need to be signed?

4). Who does the deed transfer, and how?

Any steps I am just overlooking?
