FAQ
Manchester direct from owner questions.
- Do I need my own agent to buy FSBO in Manchester?
- Not legally. Many buyers hire a flat-fee transaction attorney instead to draft and review the New Hampshire contract.
- Who handles title and escrow?
- A local New Hampshire title company or closing attorney. Either side can choose; cost is typically split or negotiated.
- Can I still get a mortgage?
- Yes. Buying direct from an owner doesn't change your loan options. You can also negotiate owner financing.

- Promissory note
- The IOU between you and the Manchester seller. Spells out the loan amount, interest rate, payment schedule, and what happens if you miss a payment.
