FSBO Buying Question(s)

I suggest getting a realtor but tell them that if you find a FSBO that you like, you won't use them. If the person you are buying from is selling with a realtor, no use in you not having one to represent your best interests. You may get a lower price not having one when buying a FSBO

You basically have to handle everything yourself in the process, which honestly isn't that much.

When buying through a realtor, you will typically view a house, and if you want to make an offer, make it through a purchase agreement. The sellers will then agree, decline, or make a counter offer. So on and so on until either a purchase agreement is signed or you get tired of the process.

When you buy from a FSBO, you will typically make an offer, or discuss a price, then work on a purchase agreement. The agreement can be as simple as a single piece of paper stating what is being sold, for how much, and signed by both parties, or you can go the route of the available state forms from Louisiana (if buying in Louisiana).

Once you have a purchase agreement, go get your financing.

Yes Buying in Louisiana and This seems simple enough.

Thank you for all the advice!
