All of our married life we have lived in apartments and have finally reached a point in our lives where we are really tired of renting and feel like we can afford to buy a house. However we don't know much about buying a house, and so it has been a learning experience for us.
We weren't sure at first if we wanted to go with a real estate agent or not. We didn't want to have to pay extensive costs, but at the same time, there is only so much you can do by yourself long distance in the process of buying a home. We were referred to my husbands cousin's husband (did you follow that?) who is an agent, and decided it might be beneficial to go through him. Now that I am back home again, and needing to do everything long distance, I am glad that we chose to go through him.

yeah, they are worth it. the agents know the lingo and the documentation and they take care of all that stuff for you. plus you can't really get into a house to even see it without one! there are all those fees (that they say you "don't pay" as a buyer, but you know you are kind of paying for it since you are paying the seller, who is paying the fees), but whatever. everyone needs to make money, right? I hope it all works out for you!
