Portland area real estate lawyer

Greetings!

I have been fortunate to have an opportunity to buy on off-the-market deal from a friend whom I trust in a win-win scenario. I am perfectly aware of the potential pit-falls of doing a large transaction with a friend but we have already agreed upon a price, which is contingent on keeping additional costs minimal, including no agents, an arrangement I am comfortable with. I do intend to have an inspection done and bring this back to the seller for conversation. 

I have never purchased property without an agent.  I've read a few different blogs on other sites about this but, honestly trust this website/community more than anywhere else.  Is there a separate thread anyone can point me to laying out the process? 

Thanks a ton!

Chris
