No doubt that many buyers should not be operating on their own. They just aren't experienced enough, aware enough or have the needed confidence...any of which could be costly.

Questions, please:
1 - Define what you mean by "huge mistakes" and "particularly in Florida" -- what's unique about FL in this regard?
2 - Why does FL try to keep lawyers out? Also, why is a lawyer necessarily needed? (Inspectors and title companies are only what's used in many other states.)
