Skeeter,

As a buyer, there's not much benefit to buy a house without an agent
because the seller has to pay your agent's fee. Seller's agent'd love
to have somebody like you without an agent for s/he can keep the whole
pie. Buyer's agent should provide you all the paperwork.

However, you can save a lot of time by searching houses on the net
before calling any agent. Hands on person like you end up doing most
of the leg work anyway. But if something goes wrong, you'll have one
more person to sue if you have a buyer's agent. 8^) After all, seller's
agent is there for the seller, not for a buyer.

Once you know all ins and outs about the process, you can bargain with
seller a little bit from time to time. But I still don't see much benefit of
not having your own agent as a buyer.

regards,

BPP(Bipin's partner)
