I'd be inclined to go for the solicitor too but there is no guarantee that they would always do any better.
Mate just sold his £600k+ house through Rightmove who I had as a cheaper options (and they were, by quite a few thousand) but they did all that a "proper" estate agent would have done - vetting buyers, talking pics and doing write up, managing viewings and offers, but for something like £6k less. Maybe he just got lucky, in a sellers market.
