Should I sell my home with a real estate attorney or agent

I will be selling my single family home for a profit. I was told by a local investor that I should list the home with a real estate attorney instead of a traditional agent as I will save money on the transaction. Does anyone have any more information on how this works? Is it’s worth doing ?

If you already had a buyer lined up, I would agree that using an attorney for the transaction would be best. But if you're looking to sell it for top dollar, I would definitely use a realtor. I'm not just saying that because I'm a realtor... but because I did try the sell it yourself before.  You'll get tons of calls from other realtors, and tons of calls from weirdos asking if you would rent your house. 

Interview at least 3 realtors from 2 different local agencies. And pick who you like best, so has a good action plan, and who cares about you (by answering your calls and reachable). This should ease your mind.
