We have bought and sold several homes----some ourselves and some with a Realtor. It has been our experience that it depends on the local market. If homes are NOT selling in your market, then I would go with the Realtor. If homes ARE selling in your market then I would consider selling it myself. There are many variables but most important is to price it just below what other similar homes are selling if you are looking for a quick sale. If your not looking for a quick sale, be sure and price it according to what similar homes are selling. "Staging" really works with a "good" piece of real estate. By that I mean one valued above average, in excellent condition and in a good location.
