I read today on ForSaleByOwner.com ‘s blog, that many consumers are mislead to believe there is some special law or policy which states they have to use an agent during the buying and selling process! Information used to be totally controlled by agents which lead people to believe they had to work with them.
About 4 years ago, an independent study by Real Trends found out about only 50% of consumers were aware 
of the “for sale by owner” method of selling their home. I imagine during the past 4 years awareness has improved considerably and homeowners understand they have the right to sell their own home if they chose. How anyone could miss all the ‘for sale by owner” signs around town is beyond me.
You will need a title company to draw up the necessary paperwork to transfer ownership from you to your buyer. But you definitely are not legally required to use a realtor!
