Timing is also a factor. Selling agents can be negotiated with but not by much usually. Also, you typically get what you pay for, in terms of effort on their behalf. If you have time to sell, FSBO might give you some opportunities to save but almost every buyer will have an agent representing them that will need paid. Most moves are also seasonal with Spring or Summer being the higher move months. You may live in a seller's market area and can price the house well on your own. You house's "worth" is typically based on comps from houses similar in size, near you that sold in the last year. You can get some good ideas on the comps from free reality sites.
