Either:
- hire an agent who will charge you commission (if you have a buyers agreement)...when you put the offer in, reduce the price by the agent's commission
- hire a real estate lawyer who charge $1000+ to handle the deal
- do the deal with the seller. They will have the purchase agreement form. Have a clause included that the sale is subject to your lawyer checking out the contract...say a 2-3 day conditional. It costs the seller nothing, but will cost you.

Well, if you don't have a Realtor to handle this for you and are trying to avoid the commission fee of having one, you will have to handle all of the steps of property sales yourself or trust that the seller is looking out for your best interest and let them do it. You will have to handle the title transfer of the property yourself and pay that fee, possibly home inspection fee if you are financing this through a bank or mortgage company.... and the list goes on and on. If you know so little about real estate that you are even asking this question, I would strongly suggest using a reputable Realtor to handle this for you.

You simply make an offer. First check with your local bank or mortgage lender and get qualified. They will tell you what you need for them to back the loan. Once you have taken care of your qualifications then you shop for a house. Some of the things are you might need are; septic tank letter if applicable; title search; termite letter. The bank can tell you where to get these. m

1) You can convince a real estate salesperson to represent you - they may well if you have a relationship with them or if you tell them you'll use them when YOU sell the house;
2) You can represent yourself with the vendors
3) You can hire a lawyer to do it all for you. You should still get a lawyer to search the title, check for any liens, etc., but you can ask the lawyer to be your negotiator on the price/terms, etc., as well.

To protect yourself, hire a REAL ESTATE ATTORNEY. You need someone to read through the contracts to make sure you're NOT getting screwed.
