Over 80% of buyers are shopping on the internet long before they step out the door to look at houses. You need to get the house on MLS which feeds sites like Realtor.com to catch those buyers. There are places that will do that for a minimum fee.
If you do decide that you would like to go with a realtor, don't think that you are saving a fortune to negotiate a lower realtor commission. When a buyer's realtor has a client that wants to spend a day looking at houses that fit their needs they depend on the realtor to find appropriate properties and schedule showing appointments. If there are many houses for sale with a 5 to 6 percent commission and your house is paying 3% which houses do you think will be shown?
