Should I sell my home myself or use a real estate agent?

For sale by owner (FSBO) can save commission costs, but it comes with challenges: pricing accurately, marketing effectively, legal paperwork, negotiating, and navigating inspections and appraisals. Data shows FSBO homes typically sell for less than agent-assisted homes. An experienced agent brings market knowledge, a network of buyers and agents, professional marketing, and negotiation skills that often offset their commission.
