There are many questions at hand with regard to real estate purchases and as several other Realtors pointed out we deal with these matters each & every day. By hiring a Realtor you will have your own personal advocate. If you would like please contact me and I would be happy to speak with you further and answer any immediate questions that you have and then some. I have been in the business for over 25 years now and it would be my pleasure to assist you. You can either email me at jathrash@cox.net or contact me at (405) 640-6621.

My Father was from Atoka, Oklahoma. I spent many summers there on the farm with him. Great town.

Just browsing this morning and in reading your questions and the answers shared, I think what might clarify things for you is you as the buyer can hire a Realtor to represent your interest in the purchase of any property whether it be for sale by owner or listed with a Realtor. This will protect your interests and many times even if you are paying the Realtor's commission or a buyers agency fee, it will still save you money in the long run. The brokerage fee or commission can be negotiated as a part of the actual purchase so it doesn't necessarily mean it comes directly out of your pocket but can be a part of your financing package. Good Luck!!

Is this property for sale with a Realtor, or is it a For Sale By Owner? If it's a For Sale By Owner I would ask how they arrived at their price, why they are moving, and for a property condition disclosure form to be filled out. If it's for sale with a Realtor you won't be able to find out why they are moving (unless they were given permission to tell) and the disclosure will already be filled out. If the property is not on acreage than you probably won't need a survey other than the one that the title company will already be ordering. Several of the questions you have are answered in the purchase contract that the state has, have you had an chance to look one over? If you would like I can give you the website address to the forms on the internet so that you could review them. I don't feel that I answered very many of your questions, if you have anything additional that I can answer for you please let me know. BuyYourHome@Century21.com

What area are you interested in? If you have a property that you would like to look at I would be more than happy to schedule a showing for you. Just let me know if I can be of any assistance to you. All you need to do is email me at john.marquiess@coldwellbanker.com or give me a call at 405-250-7825 with any questions that you might have.
