Can I sell my house without an estate agent?

Answer: If you're selling your house directly to an investor, you may not need a real estate agent to assist in the sale. In fact the real estate agent's additional commission to the sales price, may make the difference between doing the deal with an investor, or not. If you would still like to bring a Realtor in to assist you in the transaction, you might consider asking them if they would take a flat fee, or a smaller percentage than what they would usually receive on account of you already having your buyer. Some investors may not mind an agent working in the transaction, while some clearly would.

Yes, there could be some advantages to having an agent in the transaction, to represent you on your behalf. You must weigh this against the disadvantages and decide if the transaction is feasible with the additional expenses. If you do not feel comfortable selling your house without an estate agent, then you might want to ask an agent about talking with them and looking over your deal. So, it's really just a matter of your own comfort level.
