The statistic have shown over & over & over again ... you get less money and more aggravation, by trying to sell property without a professional. It's simply common sense.
I couldn’t disagree more. We do our own painting, plumbing repairs, sometimes some of the auto repairs, etc. We only hire workman when beyond our skill set.

I don’t know how those statistics could show “less money” when one literally saves more than 6% on the price of their home!

I would guess those stats are skewed. It’s been found that stats can be manipulated when the studies are tainted to suit the interests of the company or individuals requesting the study.
