Are you thinking about selling your house in {Business Area}? Before you decide to list your home up for sale, it is helpful to get a clear picture of how much it’s going to cost. Whether you are sprucing things up with a fresh coat of paint, replacing the roof membrane or just covering your taxes, there will be a few bills to pay. Let’s take a quick look at some of the true costs that you’ll incur when selling your home.

Is Your Home Ready To Sell?

The first question you will need to answer is whether or not your home is ready to sell. Unless your house is relatively new, it will likely need repairs and maintenance. Depending on the age and condition of your home, you may also decide to invest in a full home inspection. Having a professional inspector look things over is a good investment – especially if they find problem areas that require immediate attention.

Factor In Costs During The Sales Process

The selling process will also have its costs. From lawyers’ fees to excise taxes, there is no shortage of small costs that can start to add up. You may decide to invest a bit in your open houses in order to make them more welcoming. Or you might need to close out your mortgage. Whatever the case, be sure to leave some space in your budget for these costs.

Moving Out Will Cost You Too

Finally, don’t forget to factor in the cost of moving to your new home. Many families fail to budget for moving expenses, which can be significant if you are moving out of a large home with a lot of furniture.

Real Estate Agent Commission

Most people will consider a Real Estate Agent when they think about selling a home. Of course, they are not going to work for free. Once the home sells, the agent is compensated with a percentage of the sale price, which is known as a commission. And In most cases, the home seller also pays the commission for the buyer’s real estate agent as well.

    When we got married we thought we would keep my old house and rent it out. Seemed like a good idea at the time-a little extra money coming in and the house would eventually get paid off… Wrong! The tenants messed the place up, called for us to make repairs all the time (things that we know they broke), were late on rent, skipped out on the lease, we’d have to clean it up and wait for someone new to rent it to (while making the mortgage payments)-we were sick of it! Luckily Steve and Kim from CashOfferOnHouse.co provide a great service. We didn’t have time to take care of cleaning it up to sell and finding a realtor that does what they say they will do (we have had issues with realtors not performing in the past-but that’s another story), but Steve and Kim had no problem taking it in what was its current condition. They gave us a fair cash offer and closed really fast. All-in-all they really got us out a situation we were tired of dealing with. Can’t recommend them enough!

    My situation is a little embarrassing to admit, but Steve and Kim from CashOfferOnHouse.co really helped me out of a rough spot, so I wanted to return the favor and give them a good review. I had a hard time that I went through-I lost my job and couldn’t keep up with my bills. I found myself in a place I never thought I would be-facing foreclosure. I was at a loss on what to do. I tried to sell before the bank started to foreclose and take it but it wouldn’t sell because it needed a few repairs that I didn’t have the money to make. No buyers were interested… I couldn’t pay the mortgage so the bank was threatening to take it. I knew I didn’t want a foreclosure on my record-I would never be able to buy a house again! I was up late at night searching the web for a solution and found their website. They were so helpful and understanding of my situation. I thank God they were there to save from financial ruin. They were able to get me out from under my problem, closed fast and made it so easy. The burden was lifted and now I am getting my life back on track-thank you so much!

    When my ex and I split, we had to settle up on the house. We both wanted a clean split and didn’t want the long term problem of marketing a house for sale and neither of us could afford to buy each other out. There would just be too many decisions to make together and we wanted to start fresh and not be bogged down by the past. Thoughts of dealing with him to decide on sale price, do we make repairs or not-who pays, do we accept the buyer’s offer price, etc, etc??? So I was lucky enough to come across Steve and Kim from CashOfferOnHouse.co—boy what a relief it was! They handled everything and made it a worry free transaction! I didn’t have to deal with my ex at all! Steve and Kim did all the communicating and were very professional and courteous to work with. I don’t ever plan to be in this position again, but I would definitely use them if I need to sell a house quickly!!
