Rookie question about making offers.
Question. Probably obvious, but I was wondering.
I know for on-market properties, it's easy, the Realtor writes the offer. (please, no long soliloquies about how I should be looking for off-market deals).
However, what's the general consensus on making offers for off-market properties. Do you have your buyers agent write it, or do you write it yourself? Do you use the standard state form (in this case, NC) or do you use a different, or self-generated form?
Thanks in advance.

@Scott Hughes
Hey Scott. I'm in NC. I use my closing attorney to write my contracts. He uses the standard NC offer to purchase. I just email him the details and pay him for the contract. I know some other investors use their own contracts, but this has worked for me.
