The same sale.
Without the 6%.
A traditional sale and a bartr sale cover the same ground — price it, list it, find a buyer, negotiate, close. The difference is who does each step, and what it costs you.

When an agent still makes sense.
bartr isn't for every sale, and saying so is part of being honest about it. These are the cases where paying for an agent is a fair trade.
You want it handled for you
Selling yourself means answering buyers and making the calls. Some people would rather pay not to.
The home is unusual
Land, a tenant in place, or a property with few comparable sales can need a specialist.
You can't be there
If you're out of state and can't host a showing, someone local earns their fee.
