Buying from Owner:

Buying property from owner can be sometimes get you a cheaper deal. Since, the owner do not need to paid commission to agent .
However, the owner only have one property in the list while the agent will have give you more option.
The most important things, either you are buying from the owner or agent, you must check the property market value. The property market value must at least the same as the property price or higher.
For example :

If the property price is RM300,000. While, the market value only RM250,000.00 . Mean, the property selling is expensive.
