Is a real estate agent a must while buying a home?

Hello Friends
I am planning to buy a used home in Ohio. I have already bought and sold a house in California and so am very familiar with the procedure..
I have done my home work regarding Mortgage companies, Inspectors, etc., I am getting all the listsings from several websites and getting the details about the properties from the respective county auditor sites.
I have done good research regarding recent sales in that area, what the dollars/sq.ft of each sale etc.,
If I like a house, I am contacting the seller agent directly and taking appointment to go and see the house.
I have noticed that the buyer agents (even though they claim that they are on buyers side) when it comes to selling they will to some extent go on the sellers side to make a quick sale so that they will get their commission and move on.
So is it really necessary to work with an agent while buying a house. Also is it legally needed?
Any response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Questions about buying a “fixer-upper” house?
Posted by: | Comments
I am looking into buying a house and some property in an area that has rather cheap homes. Nonetheless, I don’t have much money, so I’m looking into getting a cheap house there.
I’m not interested in “fixing and flipping.” I want to live and fix and live and maybe eventually sell. I’ve tried to find books on this subject, but all the books I found talk more about reselling. Any book suggestions?
What I’d really like to know is what to look out for before buying a house. I want an ugly house that I can do basic work on (painting, recarpetting, etc.) over the weekends and such to make it more livable and pretty.
I don’t want a house that will be condemned in a year or one that will cost thousands to fix major damages. I’ve heard that you don’t want a house with a bad foundation, but what do I look for? Do I need to hire someone to inspect it before buying? What other major things should I look for and avoid in buying a fixer-upper? Pipes? Termites? Walls?
Is it worth the risk to buy property that is less than 20 feet above sea level?

If sea level rises due to global warming, then lots of property all over the country, and the world, will get destroyed. Just like so much property in New Orleans. But until recently I lived in a nice shore town, and if I still had a job there I would have considered eventually buying a house there, fully aware of what could happen in the next few decades.
BeachSaint, I wish I could agree, but not everyone has enough money to live for the moment, especially when it comes to buying a house.
www.conyeyancing-warehouse.com – Are online conyeyancing solicitors any good?

I’m buying a house and i’m thinking of using www.conveyancing-warehouse.com to do the conveyancing work as it will save me about £300 compared to a regular ‘local’ solicitor. As they are part of a firm of solicitors (Roberts) and they are regulated by the law society etc, I cant see any problem, but i may be wrong!? Has anybody used these? Any feedback would be much appreciated!
carswoody you sound like a very well scripted idiot! I hasd to include the name of the company in the title so people would recognise it if they has used them!
