[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be great to avoid a realtor and competition from other buyers if possible, wouldn't it? What's the best way to find someone who is preparing to sell, but hasn't yet listed...neighborhood listserv? asking on dcum? We're looking in N Arlington, which I know is a hot area, but I see houses in the sales records all the time that were never listed on the market. How does one find these gems? [/quote] Why do you want to avoid a Realtor? That sounds like it would be completely contrary to your stated goal.[/quote] OP here. I don't have any intention of getting into an anti-realtor thread, but my personal opinion is that I'm my own best agent acting in my own best interests. If a realtor is not bringing a buyer and seller together, I'm not sure I see the value added to the transaction. I know a few good lawyers who deal in real estate transactions, and they should be sufficient to navigate the paperwork. [/quote]
