You know, paying commission to a Realtor is not always a losing proposition. See when a Realtor advertises your property, they offer commission to any Realtor who will bring a buyer for your place. So all of a sudden you have thousands of Realtors working for you. And for this reason you need to make sure that your Realtor is offering a good Co-op commission say at least 2.5-3% to other brokers, so they are interested in selling your place.
If you want to still try to see if you can get a better deal, then find a Realtor who will be willing to sign and Exclusive Agency Agreement, that means the Realtor will be looking for buyers, but if you find a buyer yourself, you don't have to pay commissions to the Realtor. This way, you are trying yourself, but not losing any time by not advertising with Realtor.
Right now is not a good time trying to sell without a Realtor, when the real estate market is not really on sellers side.
Try local news papers, buyowner.com but don't set the price that is too high.
