How do I handle a commission-free buyer?

I listed my house and an unrepresented buyer just toured it. They told me that since they don’t have an agent, I should knock 2.5% off the price. Is this a fair trade, or am I taking on all the legal risk by doing the paperwork myself? How do I protect myself from a DIY buyer?

Does a house fire affect home value?

A few years back our house was struck with lightening and caught on fire. Fire dept was quick and we lost about half of the 2nd floor. We obviously did remediation and repairs. The house is completely fine now and no damage remains. But do we need to disclose this when selling our house? Will the fact that it caught on fire affect our home value?
