You don't say what state your in and matters. Some states have very tough disclosure laws. Some don't. Some require you have an attorney do the title search. Some Don't. If your a first time seller, I'd recommend you use a Realtor. Negotiate to get a lower commission. then pay attention to the rules and forms you need for where you live. Next time you maybe able to do it your self since you have gone thru the process. But it can be a costly mistake if you don't follow your states rules and laws. If your new to this, don't chance it. Let someone that has closed many deals help you. Talk to several agents and find one that will discount and you like.

Yes. It used to be very common in Scotland until Estate Agents smelt easy money an almost ruined a better system than in in England. Greedy Bxxxxxs. Just get a lawyer to tie up the legal side though. It is safer.

You don't say where you are. If you are in the UK, there is no such thing as title insurance, so that's not an issue. You can sell your house however you like, with an agent or on your own. I bought my current house from a private ad in the local paper, my friend sold his by hanging a For Sale sign from a tree in his garden. If you do it yourself, you will have to advertise it and be available to let people view the property. Otherwise its easy.

Yes, but you will have to do everything yourself, and any mistake you make can put you into litigtion years later just to fix the error. Also, your buyer cannot get title insurance without using a title agent or attorney.

Its probably legal, but I wouldn't do it. One of they things you pay the Realtor for is to get the paper work right. If you make any mistakes, it could cost you far more than the Realtor would. Worse yet, you may not find out you messed up until the new owner sells. That could be decades later.

Yes, totally. You're best advised to use a solicitor to sort out the legals though.

Of course - estate agents are hired help like a cleaner - you either hire one or do it yourself.
