Since we are all on the same team I'm going to try and give you my best advice. Unless you really know what you are doing you should have the best representation possible. It's entirely possible you are as good as a real estate professional, I have no way of knowing this. But that said I personally buy properties from unrepresented people, I do very well at this. I know exactly how unrepresented people think, penny wise pound foolish. Having a lawyer draw up an agreement for $400 seems like a good deal, but really, what lawyer works for such a price outside of the bottom of the barrel? I had an uncle who sold a big property via rent to own in order to cut out the realtors even though he could have used one of my realtors at a discount. He sold for $100,000 under market. I'm not saying you aren't able to put a deal together better than my uncle, but realtors have a majority of the market for buyers locked up tight. They control zillow, realtor, redfin and every major website. The only buyers who are not represented are bargain hunters like me. Can you convince a bargain hunter to buy your house at full market price? Sure, but odds are way better with a professional. To put this in perspective, I personally use a realtor to buy/sell and I have a massive amount of experience in the industry.
