Portland Oregon - selling your unlisted home without agent

[John Smithey]

We live in Portland, OR where the market is pretty overheated. Wondering if anyone here has experience in that market selling their own residential property without a listing agent, or additionally where the buyer does not have an agent either (and both parties just use an attorney or attorneys to handle the transaction). Our home is currently unlisted, and we may be able to line up a buyer without listing just through our personal network. Google this question and SEO leads you to one million realtors trying to steer you away from this route, of course. But maybe it really is too fraught with risk and paperwork to be worth it?
