Making offer on REO property without an agent

[Amanda Hansen]

I am looking to make an offer on my first investment property. It is an REO, cash-only, single-family home. My question is, do I need an agent to write my offer or is this something I could do myself.

REOs typically have an online system to submit offers. The link to thisnis typically found in the agent to agent remarks in the mls. It is unlikely the reo agent will even return your call. They can not get both ends of the deal. So without your own agent you are unlikely to even get your offer in.
