I once sold a house and ended up in litigation. That is when a good reputable Realtor comes in handy (as a witness on the stand). After two days trial, I won my case and there is no way I would have won had I done it on my own.
Of course most sales don't end up in litigation. So chances are you won't be as unlucky as I was. It took over a year to settle everything and the more professionals involved the better IMHO. Of course out of my $25k winnings, my attorney fees were $10k. So it is best to stay out of court if at all possible. But my Realtor didn't get anything extra. Testifying was part of her commission and job.
