It's cheaper that way. Good luck to you. I am single. My home is all I have. You can get rid of the broker, but you can't get rid of the broker's work.
Someone has to do it.
Brokers have to study for many hours before they're allowed to get licenses, and that's even though they start out under the supervision of experienced agents. Almost the most important thing is to price your home properly. Price it too high and no one comes to see it. Then another danger is in getting yourself tied up with a contract, with a buyer who turns out to be unable to go through with the deal. You have to learn how to judge a potential buyer's finances, just as a lending institution would.
