A friend recently sold his house without an EA and bought from someone doing the same. He was very happy, and sold the house in about 3 weeks.

I know someone who sold without an EA. The way they handled the bids was to assign each bidder a letter, then email all bidders a simple email with "Bidder A has offered 250,000." All bidders were BCC'd of course rather than CC'd.

Everyone saw their bid acknowledged and everyone had relatively real time information.

That's better than most estate agent approaches.
