You can, it's called for sale by owner. As long as you know what you're doing. But you're still more likely to get less money out of your sale without a professional. Buyers are more vulnerable though, I mean good luck.
Not putting your house on the market is absolute stupidity, since that's how you get your highest and best offers. Off market deals are pretty much always a scam and that's how dummies lose a lot of money, way more than a commission check. Anybody who owns a home is familiar with those letters offering to buy off market, it's just robbery.
