We have found a home on a golf course in Arizona that we are interested in to live in and it is not currently listed. We are very familiar with the local market. The motivated owner of his rental property is a lawyer that we met in a social setting and we are considering doing a private cash transaction between the two of us to avoid the normal realtor fees to save both of us money. What is the best way to proceed?
There would, of course, have to be a home inspection before final agreement on the sale price. We have purchased several homes in the past with real estate agents, but this is a new process for us. I assume we should engage a buyer broker or lawyer to protect our interests but want to know what to do, what to expect and what we might pay for such a service. I think we can privately negotiate a sale price ourselves but will require assistance with the closing.
Any advice for how we should pursue this opportunity would be gratefully accepted.
