Being pre-approved will save you from wasting your time looking at homes that are out of your price range.

The one year home warranty plans offered by sellers (an insurance policy) are nearly impossible to make a claim on. If there's something not working right at the inspection, have the seller fix it or reduce the asking price before you close.

Has anyone bought a house without a realtor? My boyfriend is looking and I'm getting a lot of input since I'll be living there too but we cannot stand the realtors. Their contracts seem absurd to us AND a bunch of them try to force you into using their title company and their attorneys - we're attorneys! We don't need to pay for one! I'm just wondering if anybody has been successful doing it on their own.

Yes. Get your own Real Estate attorney (unless you specialize in it) to facilitate the process.
