Hi All
I know of many people who have sold their homes themselves without an agent. But would like to know if anyone has bought without an agent and if they had found their home privately.
I am in the search for a home. Am over the open houses (want my weekend life back and hate the people who monopolise the agents time so no one else can ask a question) am not interested in going to an auction at the moment (some people go crazy bidding to "win" the house). So was considering my own letterbox drop or advertising for a house.
I have started putting the word out to anyone and everyone I meet who lives in the areas I would like to buy. My family have previously sold a house by word of mouth. And I bought my first apartment when an acquaintance said he was about to sell, and I was about to look. So far, I have had a couple of "leads" but am still on the look out. So was wandering if anyone else has tried to find and buy themselves.
Cheers
