No Realtor involved?

[Steffan Daus]

Just a quick newbie question for you guys. Since I am essentially agreeing to purchase the sellers house, (though I am just going to assign the contract or double close) doesn't a Realtor have to be involved? Isn't that what they exist for? Or is that just part of the closing process, which I still need to research.

In the case one is supposed to involved, who needs to find one the wholesaler or the end buyer?
