Good luck, you'll need it.
I sold my first home by myself in 2006 with no issues at the price a realtor would have listed it for. It helped that it was in a popular neighborhood. I would imagine with the internet it would be much easier now. I remember an agent came to my door and told me that I wouldn't be able to sell it that way.

But it doesn't work for everyone. My Dad's neighbor who also lives in TV tried to do a FSBO recently and gave up after 2 months. Signed on with an agent and didn't take long to sell after that.
