Should I sell my home without a real estate agent to save the commission?

Selling without an agent can save on listing-side commission, but it also shifts pricing, marketing, negotiation and paperwork entirely onto the seller, which is where many for-sale-by-owner sellers end up losing money through pricing mistakes or missed negotiating leverage. South Carolina still requires an attorney to conduct the closing regardless of whether an agent is involved.
