No one can because of laws written by real estate agents who turned into legislators.

That's not true. I've sold real estate to a buyer without a realtor.

Lol, not everyone lives in your random ass location that forbids private sales. It's very possible to do where I live, but it's one of those things that it's good to have professionals handle in most cases in my opinion.

Go get your real estate license. It's not hard especially if you're going to be complaining about the 6%

In my state it requires a six week class, passing a test, then working under a licensed broker for 6 months. I considered it.
