I direct mailed a bunch of multi-family owners in my area, and got a response from a realtor who owns a quadplex. In my letter, I said I'd like to avoid using realtors (and use an attorney instead) to save some cash. Have I lost any financial incentive for me to not use a realtor myself? Or am I thinking about this wrong? Now that he's a realtor, whats the best way to proceed? If i move forward, is he going to claim buyers agent?

Billy,
We have closed lots of deals without using realtors. I would definitely recommend using a title company though and not an attorney. We recently ran into some major issues trying to close a deal that was previously "sold" outside of a title company. I think this would be a simple discussion with the seller explaining that you wanted to closing to go through a title company without agent representation.
