Do I need a buyer agent

[Collin Mitchell]

My wife and I are getting ready to buy two duplexes from a builder in TX, and this is our first REI purchase other than our primary home, which is now a rental.

Do we need a buyer's agent or a RE attorney to get the deal done? 

The alternative is using the seller's agent, who is the daughter-in-law of the builder, which I have concerns about, 

I would appreciate any feedback and references of who I could use. 

This is in the San Antonio, TX, Market. 

Thanks!
