need help on buying from a friend

[sdduuuude]

Attorneys will just get in the way. A realtor may help a little, but for a friendly deal, the escrow agent is key.

I did a “no realtor” deal once and the escrow agent made it possible. The escrow agent is the one who makes things happen, moves things along. They know what papers need signing, when they need signing, and how to get the deal closed. A good loan agent helps, also, and if escrow guy and loan guy work together, it’ll happen without much trouble. Expect to do some running around, though.

Get recommendations on title agent, inspector, termite inspector, escrow agent, mortgage broker and you’ll be in decent shape.

Like CA Renter says, you don’t need a Realtor.
Go directly to escrow. All a Realtor would do is put you into escrow anyway.

Here’s a good one:

[quote=as]Thank you, CA renter.
I will definitely give Gary a call.
I am doing all the pre-purchase work to prepare for this transaction. So far we both agreed on price verbally, but not on the paper, yet. I hope my friend won’t change her mind as she changed her mind once before. I hope I can trust her.

I am trying to find a discount agent since I am a first time home buyer(I will pay him/her.) to review the paper work with me. Anybody on this board could recommend one?

While I am not a discount agent, I have helped with a situation like this on a reasonable flat fee before. It seems like might you want more than just the paper work as a first time buyer. If you would like to discuss it you can email me at Russellwalsh2003 at @ Yahoo dot com.
