    Understanding Selling Costs

    Realtor Commission

    Typically 5-6% of the sale price, split between buyer's and seller's agents. This is the largest single expense when selling.

    Closing Costs

    Usually 2-3% of sale price. Includes title insurance, escrow fees, transfer taxes, and various administrative costs.

    Repairs & Staging

    Pre-sale repairs, improvements, and staging to maximize sale price. Investment properties may need tenant turnover costs.

    Holding Costs

    Monthly expenses while the property is listed: mortgage, property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance.
