I'm sorry if it is a stupid question, but what do you mean by that? What agenda do they have?Of course you can do it yourself. Rocket science it is not, just look at the number of TDs who are agents/run estate agencies, even some former ministers!!!
What agenda do they have?
Which is fine but you're not the one paying the ludicrously high fees, the vendor is!Not using an estate agent makes it look like you're just kicking tires and not serious about a sale.
If I was a busy person I wouldn't bother viewing and bidding without an EA involved.
Ain't no negotiatin' man, it's a percentage of that there sales price, plus them expenses, plus that VAT stuff. There is no hassle in having an EA out of the picture when sellingYou better off to use an estate agent, negotiate their fee at the beginning. They well worth it to avoid all the hassle and usually they can achieve a higher price that you could get yourself.

Assuming we ain't all Geogia crackers in here, I was able to achieve higher prices than estate agents told me properties were worth in the past.
