Wife and I are former Realtors (from another state) We haven't been licensed in probably 20 years, but knew the business well. So we could have done it ourselves. However, we sold our home in TV in 7 days using The Villages sales staff. We briefely considered the same issues as you, $18,000 is a lot of money. However, they have access to many more eyes and ears than we do...their marketing expertise is amazing. We didn't think we could compete. And, I'm not sure all buyers will feel safe buying from an individual seller....Additionally, many buyers may feel a home for sale by owner should be priced less knowing the seller isn't paying a commission...
Those are my thoughts
