How I Bought a House in Phoenix Without a Realtor—Shocked?

Buying a house in Phoenix without a realtor? Yup, I did it! Here's how: Start with Research: I began my search in November, initially looking at older homes but quickly shifted to new builds since the styles didn’t match my taste. Focused Area: I targeted areas within a 20-minute commute to my office. Found two main builders: K. Hovnanian Homes and Lennar. In-Person Visits: Visited K. Hovnanian, which was within my budget, but it was noisy and under construction. Next, I checked out Lennar’s Copper Leaf community—perfect location, quiet, and close to amenities. The service was a bit cold, but the place felt right. Financing: After putting down a deposit, I had to go through a complicated loan process, especially after selling investments for my down payment. Tip: Keep your finances steady for easier loan approval! Home Inspection: Don’t skip this step! I had an inspection done for around $300 to ensure everything was in order before closing. #PhoenixHomes #RealEstateJourney #HouseBuyingTips
