Selling your home? Make sure you know what it's really going to cost you. π‘π‘
Most sellers focus on the sale price β but what you walk away with is what really matters.
And that number might look different than you expect.
Here are the costs many sellers don't think about until it's too late:
π° Agent commissions: a percentage of the sale price paid at closing
π° Closing costs: fees, taxes, and other expenses that add up quickly
π° Repair requests: buyers may ask for fixes after the inspection that come out of your pocket
π° Carrying costs: mortgage, insurance, and utilities you're still paying while the home sits on the market
None of this should catch you off guard.
That's why one of the first things I do with every client is walk through a clear, honest breakdown of your net proceeds, before we ever list your home.
When you know your numbers upfront, you can price smarter, negotiate with confidence, and make decisions that actually protect your bottom line. πͺ
No surprises. No guesswork. Just a clear plan.
Thinking about selling? Let's sit down and run the numbers together so you know exactly where you stand.
