I found a property without an Agent

Hi -

Is it possible to draw up a offer letter without an agent? I think I found a solid home I want to capitalize on.

I did all the work myself so I feel guilty in giving someone a cut if I went through the trouble of doing all the work but, need assistance drafting up a solid offer letter. Any advice or template available?

Replied

I bought my first investment property without a realtor. It's not brain surgery. I found an expired MLS listing and contacted the seller. I got a lower price as I used the fact we didn't need a realtor as a bargaining chip.

When the property was on the MLS he was asking in the low to mid 90s (I believe he was asking $94,500 if my memory serves me right) and I bought it for 79K.

I hired a RE attorney as did the seller and it ended up being a great buy and the beginning of my RE journey....
