Most people that aren't of advanced age don't use realtors to sell a home in an active market like here in the Village. We use Zillow or other sites that cost close to zero. It would never occur to me to use a realtor to sell a home. That's for older boomers to waste their money on. I've observed homes on my street and adjacent up for sale by owner and by agents. The ones that used an agent sold their homes no faster at all.
