100% Q: When working with a realtor how do for sale by owner houses work?

I have been working with a realtor and seeing houses. With him I found a neighborhood that I really like. We decided to just wait until something in that neighborhood goes on the market. I have now found two in that neighborhood, but they both for sale by owner. How do I handle this? Should I do it on my own or stick with the realtor? I'm a first time homebuyer and would like to have someone like a realtor to walk me through the process. I'm not under a contract with the realtor, but feel guilty just doing something on my own. I don't want to miss out on the home just because of a realtor. Any ideas?

A:You can go through your realtor or on your own. Since you're first time the realtor might be a better idea to address the necessary issues. For sale by owner means the owner handles everything themselves, so they don't have to give a piece of their profit to anyone.

100% Q: What should I know before offering to buy a 'for sale by owner' house?

It would, yes, possibly be easier with an estate agent involved, but the place I like is just up for sale by the owner. Any tips/things to watch out for/etc?

A:You definitely DO NOT need to hire an agent. A real estate attorney at your local Title Company can process all of the paperwork for a fraction of the cost. Your state requires certain documents to be filled out. Your title company has all of these forms for you. Make sure you get pre-qualified at your bank. Make sure you get a homeowner's inspection. Make sure you conduct your own appraisal and/or hire an appraiser. Make sure the contract/offer has "pending a satisfactory home inspection". Do not sign anything without having your attorney look at it. Make sure you get a Title Search.
