The very obvious answer is always that "you do need a Realtor now!". This is because you will always get better results with the services of an agent than without one. This isn't only sometimes the case, this is always the case no matter who you are, or what your specific situation happens to be. Even if you were an agent in a past time or different state, it's quicker to hire someone who's an agent right now, than to try to retrain yourself in the field.
