Has anyone sold a rental to a tenant without a real-estate agent?

[Philip Mullinax]

I have a rental in North Carolina that I am selling to my current tenant.  I am curious if anyone has ever done this without using a real-estate agent.  It seems easy enough, but definitely would love to hear from someone who has done this before?  Mainly questioning the closing process.

I entered a contract as renter several years ago but didn't go through with it when it was all said and done.  It was a simple contract that the seller downloaded and it was very basic.  There was no deposit required by me so I thought it was a good deal because I had nothing to lose.   Not sure if I would consider that again or not but as a seller it may give several advantages.
