If you have come to an agreement on the purchase, as much as I would like to see an agent be able to pay another bill in this economy, you really only need an attorney.

Hi Steve,

I am a full time Realtor with Mel Foster Co. in Moline. I'm new to Trulia so have just found your question. Do you still need help with purchasing your brother's house in Rock Island? I'd be happy to help you. Visit my website and let me know what I can do to help. I'll be happy to look at your brother's house and do a price evaluation for you and if you are still wanting to buy his house we can do that by email/fax. Jane

I am an agent working in the Quad Cities area. There is a ton for sale in Rock Island and Moline right now! If you want to email me the specifics of what you are looking for, I would be happy to email you some listings right away! My email is LauraReynolds@ruhlhomes.com.

As the previous posts have said, yes an agent can help with all of the administrative areas for you.

Go to your local Realtor, and ask them to refer you to someone in the Rock Island area. Not only will that agent make sure a good agent is selected, your local agent will get a small percentage from the sale too.........than tell you local agent to take you out to lunch...LOL

Steve,
It sounds like you are looking for someone to do the paperwork and set up the closing? A Realtor would be happy to help you through the process and make sure everything is done correctly. You can negoiate a fee with them for the service.

Have you worked out the price, and all the details of the purchase. Do you just need an agent to fill out the contract, and secure the financing? If you need help feel free to drop me a line. Also is your purchasing another property as a second home or investment property, are you putting atleast 10-20% down.

Good Luck
