Selling a home can be an exciting, yet stressful process. One of the last steps in the sales process is closing. Closing involves signing all of the paperwork necessary to officially transfer ownership of your home from you to the buyer. It’s important to understand what is involved in closing and what costs you may incur when selling your home.
Let’s take a look at what costs you need to consider when selling your home and then we’ll show you a way to pay no fees or commissions.
Real Estate Agent Fees
If you have used a real estate agent or broker, they will likely charge a commission for their services. This fee is typically 6% of the purchase price, which is split between both agents involved in the sale (the seller’s agent and buyer’s agent). Depending on how much experience your real estate agent has and where you live, this fee could fluctuate slightly.
At MarketPro Homebuyers, we provide you with a cash offer on your home. There are no agent fees making it a true no commission sale. You pay zero commission!
Title Search Fees
A title search is typically done prior to closing in order to verify that there are no liens or encumbrances on the property that would prevent it from being sold legally. This fee can range anywhere from $100 – $500 depending on where you live and if any issues arise during the title search process (such as unpaid taxes).
Title Insurance Fees
In addition, both parties involved in the sale are required to purchase title insurance, which protects both buyers and sellers in case any issues arise after closing involving encumbrances on the property or fraud related issues with its title. You should budget around $1,000 for title insurance if this isn’t already included in your real estate agent’s commission fee.
