I bought a house without an agent. The seller didn't have one either.

Shopped around for a mortgage and let everyone know I was. They'll compete for your business.

This is the second house I've purchased. The first one, was a catastrophe and I had a representative, so I thought I'd go it alone this time. End result? When it was all said and done, at closing, I had $41k in equity. I'm not sure I could ever do that again. It was just the perfect setup.

Wow... where and how did you find this House?

It was all networking. I was very vocal about looking for a new home. So anyone I knew, when they heard of people being interested in selling, they'd tell me about it. I'd approach the seller before they put it on the market. After about 2 or 3 homes, I found the perfect match. It's a quaint little place in the nicest neighborhood in this town. The home was immaculate and updated...
