Best way to draft a purchase agreement without realtors

[James Sullivan]

What’s the best way to draft a purchase agreement without realtors?

I’m attempting to buy a house from an elderly family friend who would like to sell the house to me. We aren’t involving agents, and I need to draft a purchase agreement.

Is my best option to approach a local attorney with real estate experience? My lender suggested going through a local title company’s attorney as that may be cheaper.

I can provide more details if needed. Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated.
