I'm not advocating one way or the other (well, maybe in this market I would recommend realtors for sure). Basically you have to calculate if the reduced commissions exceed what another realtor can get you on the sale price (or what you can get privately). You also have to factor in what your time is worth.

There is some research that demonstrates realtors obtain higher sale prices than private sellers (about 16% IIRC).
