^^ Oh sorry. I'm being stupid. I mean to say limiting your options by not paying a buyer's fee.

Yeah, just list for a flat fee. Take pro pictures. Declutter like crazy.

OP here. As noted above, I plan to offer 2 or 2.5% to buyer's agent.

OP, if it's a hot neighborhood with low inventory, you may not need to bother. If it's really a hot neighborhood, post on your neighborhood listserve and someone will know someone who wants it. But if you want multiple bids, that route may not get you there.
