Do you necessarily need a real estate agent to purchase a house?

Nitz P asked:


I know how to make a purchase offer because I have purchased several properties. Although in all of those I used a real estate agent. Can I make/do a purchase offer without an agent. I already know what to do. Can I work with the escrow company even if I am not a real estate agent? Is there anything illegal if I do all these myself?

How do deduct real estate taxes on 1040a?

I purchased a home in October, 2007. My monthly mortgage payment includes my county, state, and school taxes (they are placed in Escrow).

Apparently my tax payments will be paid out of escrow in April, May and August of 2008.

Does that mean that I can not claim real estate for my 2007 return?

(At closing, I did have to reimburse the seller for real estate taxes he had already paid up to Dec. 31.)
