Estate Sale - Transaction Sans Realtors

[Michele Harrington]

Hi BP Community!

I was approached with an opportunity from a seller who is settling his mother's estate. He would like to sell the property to me without using a realtor. I am new to this process and wanted to see what the formal steps would be if I were to pay all cash for the property and forgo a realtor - hoping someone in the BP community has come across this an can advise me on any of the pitfalls when closing a deal without an agent:)

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Michele
