Should I sell my home without a real estate agent to save the commission?

Selling without an agent saves on listing-side commission but shifts pricing, marketing, negotiation and paperwork entirely onto you, and Georgia still requires a licensed attorney to handle the closing regardless of whether an agent is involved. Joel Boss has seen FSBO sellers underprice or overprice a home without professional data to guide them. Whether the tradeoff is worth it depends on your comfort handling a complex transaction alone.
