First off-market, no broker purchase

[Ray J.]

Hello,

I and a seller just completed a purchase agreement for a property I intend to buy cash.  However, this is the first time neither party (me, or the seller) is using a broker to help.  I'm contingent on clear title and not much else.  I'm paying ALL closing costs.  

Do I just take the purchase agreement to a title company and they will assist me from here?  Basically, I'm wondering what my next step is.  I'm new to this, so any help is much appreciated.

I would recommend using a lawyer, especially since this is your first time. You can do that kind of transaction with just a title company, but I think a lawyer is well worth the money your first time through. Good luck!
