I know a lot of people want to try and sell their properties without a real estate agent, but consider first that the fee they charge is worth the exposure they offer you. And you can use their services without locking your self into anything by using a Non-Exclusive Seller Listing Agreement. With this agreement, you are saying that, if they bring you a buyer, you will pay them the agreed upon fee. But if you manage to find a buyer on your own, you owe them nothing. And to make it all pan out equal, pick the price you want to sell your property for, increase it to cover the fee the agent is charging, and sign the agreement for that amount. That way, either way, you net the same amount, but are under no obligation if they fail to perform.
