[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see a need for a buyers agent if you know how to read and comprehend. I can’t believe the industry had us boxed in for so long. I would just see if the listing agent can do some of the work (which mostly has been done) for a few hundred dollars. You too can call a settlement company who is really the core of it all to inquire or hire.[/quote]

I bought without a buyer's agent recently, and it was so easy. The listing agent was happy to make sure that paperwork moved forward, and then settlement company made sure that everything moved forward. Otherwise, we did the negotiation on our own, and for 99% of home purchases, esp. in a seller's market, the standard form contracts will apply (whether you like it or not). There was a time when a buyer's agent might help you actually FIND the listing. Now, Zillow, Redfin, etc. are fine. [/quote]

How do you tour the house without a buyer's agent? Just call the listing agent and set up an appointment with them?

Different poster here. Yes, that's what I did. [/quote]

DP. I bought mine after going to an open house. I got the fill-in-the-blank contract from the seller's agent. I generally hates salespeople who work on commission because I don't trust their motives, so it was nice not to have someone rushing me to buy or to pay more than I wanted.[/quote]
