You show your colors with that last line. The one's who don't hire realtors
are the one's with "issues" about them, are the kind that think they're so
smart they can beat the system, aren't really motivated, or don't have a
life/job and have too much time on their hands. Anyone who is thinking
clearly would never try it themselves. If you had a bad experience with an
Agent then learn how to shop for an Agent. If you've never used one you have
no business making any judgments.
