If you don't want to buy a home through a real estate agent, you need to understand all the steps involved in buying a home and have the knowledge to do so. The steps involved in buying a home are very complex, from finding the property, to negotiating with the owner, to understanding the neighborhood, to inspecting the home and discussing repairs with the seller, to preparing the paperwork, etc. It can often be exhausting.

If you go through just these steps and you buy the home you want, then you are undoubtedly lucky. Most people spend a lot of money unnecessarily, or find out that the value of the house is not equal after buying it... In that case you will have spent more money than the commission you would have spent with a real estate agent, and you will have wasted a lot of time.

All in all, unless you have been through the home buying process before and are confident in your knowledge, you may just add unnecessary hassle to your life and may even end up with a very poorly built home.
