You'll be able to get a better selling price going through an agent, that will more than offset the comission cost. In my neighborhood I see "for sale by owner" signs go up all the time, and one of two things happens: either the seller eventually lists with a realtor, or the house comes off the market unsold.

Look for someone who's moving a lot of houses in your area, and list with them. It will be worth it.
