Agreed! We listed our house in Viera, FL by ourselves in Zillow and sold it the same day. We paid only $1.00.

But if you decide to go with a realtor, don't pay the 6% commission. Instead on the listing agreement you agree to pay 4% if they sell within 30 days or before they post at MLS.

However I see from Zillow that there is a lot of houses for sale in TV. So if you post at Zillow, you need to take good pix and write enticing descriptions.

For example at Zillow I wrote our property had so much privacy that we could go outside in our birthday skins. It worked.
