I have dealt with pushy agents who offer little support, often showing me expensive homes that are out of reach. Their aggressive tactics have really put me off. I’m now seriously considering purchasing a property without their involvement. Has anyone managed to buy a home independently or can offer advice on evaluating houses without professional representation?
i went solo buying my home last year. it was kinda rough with many details to sort out but research and talking to locals helped a lot. saving without an agent made the extra work worth it if u really do ur homework.
Purchasing a property without an agent is completely doable, although it demands diligent research and a proactive approach. I was in a similar situation and had to learn every detail about mortgage processes, inspections, and legal paperwork myself. I spent considerable time delving into public records, market trends, and local neighborhood evaluations. Consulting with independent professionals for legal or inspection advice proved valuable. This approach not only saves on commission fees but also builds confidence in making informed decisions. However, be prepared to tackle an extensive array of tasks normally managed by an agent.
