Without agent
More control, more effort

Risk
The main risk remains the price
A poor starting price can cost more than commission, especially if the property remains visible for too long.
Decision
The right choice depends on property and time
The more complex the property or uncertainty, the more useful professional support can become.
Value first, channel second
A clear value basis makes the decision with or without an agent more rational.
