You can, but you will likely deal with the agent on the other end. It is not wise to buy real estate without the benefit of a professional.

You can but it is not wise. Since the seller pays commissions you should go through an agent as they will represent you and it will not cost you anything.

You do not need an agent to make an offer on a house for sale, but without someone representing your interests you are left at the mercy of the seller.

You can act on your own behalf. However, don't do it unless you know what you're doing. You could be taken for a ride if you do something wrong.

Yes, you can make an offer to buy a house without an agent. They can also sell a house without an agent. However, an agent does help you handle all legal forms and formalities when buying a home. If you do not have an agent, do have an attorney to help.

If the home is listed with a real estate agent you will have to make the offer with your choice of agents.
