Not to throw a monkey wrench in the entire works, but here goes.
Bypassing a realtor and having the transaction complete at market value benefits the seller, not the buyer. Why?
Because the seller would be paying the realtor’s fees.
If you want things to be equitable, the house should sell for 3% under market, which splits the typical realtor’s fee evenly between the buyer and seller.
Again, if you love the house, buy it. Just giving you an objective opinion.
