A lot depends on where you are. I’ve bought 5 properties and sold 2 in the last few years and I would never try to skip the agents in California because property sales are way more complicated here, but I did do a no agent buy in KC because Missouri is very flexible on sales. We didn’t even need a lawyer. We used a boiler plate sale template I bought at Office Depot and paid for title and other services as we went. It works great if both sides feel they are getting what they want. The price was definitely below an agent repped deal for that very reason and we discussed that clearly while settling on the sale price since we weren’t doing offers and counter offers like with an agent deal.
