Buying property on MLS without realtor

[Kendra T.]

Has anyone of you ever done this before?

Instead of using a buyer's agent, have you submitted your own offer directly to listing agent using your own contract (not drafted by a realtor)?

If you find the property because it's being advertised in the MLS, the listing agent will be due a commission when you buy it - you won't be saving anything, and you might get run over by an agent who is dutifully representing the seller, or, depending on the state, you might have an agent who becomes a "dual agent", which is shorthand for "does nothing to help either party"...

not sure why you'ld want to be in either situation... :cool:
