I've seen so many people that are not savvy at all lose big $$ by not consulting a very good realtor in listing or representing the property from both the buy and the sell. This far outweighs potential commission payments. The idea is the realtor is to get you the very best deal possible in the marketplace and whether it's a gain or a loss, the amount garnered by their skill should far outweigh the comission.
The fact that you can lay brick, learn about laying brick and become a damn good bricklayer outlay the fact that a realtor is laying brick every day, and there happen to be some exceptional bricklayers out there. Also, you may not want to have your days run by laying brick, home showings, etc...
