Buyers and Sellers can most certainly represent themselves in a home purchase. There is no requirement to use a REALTOR® for the purchase or sale of your own home. Can the transaction go smoothly? Yes, sometimes. The question is, if you get into a situation that may complicate the transaction or jeopardize your deposit, will you know the appropriate actions to take? Working with a REALTOR® who encounters complications in sales regularly can help make sure the sale moves forward in your favor or keep you and your deposit protected if you need to back out.
