<prompt> Human: If I walk by an open house, like it, and decide that I want to buy it, what exactly is the process from start to finish? I feel like the process is so convoluted and has so many parties that I dont even understand what each of them do: agents, brokers, escrow, insurance agencies, inspectors, banks, mortgage companies, etc.Can someone break this down for me please?  <response>: Not in a reddit comment box.
