+1. You can hire a title company to do it all for far less. Heck, even lawyers

You appear to be defensive of realtors. CB hates realtors for obvious reasons.

A realtors job isn't to figure out what the highest price a house can sell for.

It would depend on the current market. Most have cooled off, but yours might

Don't trust Zillow, but look at other listings and if their offer is right there
