I would not hire a broker to do paperwork. The title company always does the paperwork, broker or not. The reason to hire a broker is for their marketing and salesmanship skills. If I believe that I can get the same price in the same amount of time by selling the house myself, I would not hire a broker. I have a lot of skills, but salesmanship is not one of them. I don't think listing a house as a FSBO is a good idea for a lot of people.
